Oxidative stress in response to cold acclimation in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Meeting Abstract P3.57 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Oxidative stress in response to cold acclimation in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) KAMMER, A.R.*; O’BRIEN, K.M.; University of Alaska Fairbanks; University of Alaska Fairbanks arkammer@alaska.edu We sought to quantify levels of oxidative stress during cold acclimation and to determine if increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) might be responsible for stimulating […]
Origin and development of the hypertrophied cypriniform pharyngeal jaws
Meeting Abstract P3.71 Wednesday, Jan. 6 Origin and development of the hypertrophied cypriniform pharyngeal jaws SOU, E*; HERNANDEZ, LP; George Washington University; George Washington University emilys525@gmail.com Significant hypertrophy of the pharyngeal jaws characterizes most cypriniforms. Here we use both a phylogenetic approach, as well as an ontogenetic analysis of growth to examine the origin and evolution of […]
