Meeting Abstract 73.6 Saturday, Jan. 5 Functional and phenotypic responses of lizards to disturbance LATTANZIO, M*; MILES, D; Ohio University; Ohio University ml195406@ohio.edu Anthropogenic disturbance has been implicated as a factor in many examples of ecological divergence. The changes in resource availability as a consequence of disturbance, mediated by trophic interactions, in part guide how species respond. […]

S.; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Berkeley dhaldane@berkeley.edu The cockroach, Periplaneta americana, is a highly dynamic running insect, exhibiting a variety of robust and high speed gaits that we used as […]
The role of natural frequency in a jumping robot
Meeting Abstract 72.3 Saturday, Jan. 5 The role of natural frequency in a jumping robot AGUILAR, JA*; LESOV, A; WIESENFELD, K; GOLDMAN, DI; Georgia Tech; Georgia Tech; Georgia Tech; Georgia Tech jjaguilar1@gmail.com Many animals and robots jump to reach higher ground, to escape from predators, and even as primary mode of locomotion. At a basic level, jumping […]

Locomotion Analysis of Dynamic in-Plane Hexapod
Meeting Abstract 72.1 Saturday, Jan. 5 Locomotion Analysis of Dynamic in-Plane Hexapod ZARROUK, D.; PULLIN, A.*; FEARING, R.; UC Berkeley; UC Berkeley; UC Berkeley david.zarrouk@gmail.com This research focuses on the velocity of in-plane dynamic hexapedal robots. The velocity of the robot and the thrust forces are calculated as a function of robot geometry, leg compliance, static and […]

S.; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of California, Berkeley paulb@eecs.berkeley.edu Geckos are able to ascend challenging, smooth vertical surfaces with speed and robustness to perturbations that robot designs have yet […]
Tracing cell identity through metamorphosis in a freshwater sponge larva
Meeting Abstract 71.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 Tracing cell identity through metamorphosis in a freshwater sponge larva WINDSOR, P.J.*; LEYS, S.P.; Univ. Alberta; Univ. Alberta pwindsor@ualberta.ca Sponges, like other animals, show anterior-posterior polarity especially in their larval stages. However whether larval polarity is carried over to the adult is not yet known, nor is the fate of any […]
