Meeting Abstract 1.2 Wednesday, Jan. 4 The kinematic basis for the evolution of zooplankton feeding in haemulid fishes FULLER, P. O.*; TAKADA, T.; OUFIERO, C. E.; WAINWRIGHT, P. C.; Univ. of California, Davis pfuller@ucdavis.edu Zooplankton prey are small, difficult to detect, and often evasive; therefore, reef fishes relying on midwater zooplankton for food require specific adaptations to […]

The biogeography of Australian barnacles
Meeting Abstract S10-2.2 Saturday, Jan. 7 The biogeography of Australian barnacles JONES, D.S.; Western Australian Museum diana.jones@museum.wa.gov.au Two biogeographic provinces are distinguished for Australian waters, a northern tropical province and a southern temperate province.
