Meeting Abstract 30.3 Friday, Jan. 4 Female proceptive behavior in octopus (Abdopus aculeatus d’Orbigny 1834) HUFFARD, CL*; CALDWELL, RL; California Academy of Sciences; University of California, Berkeley chuffard@gmail.com During extensive observations of the octopus Abdopus aculeatus in situ, we recorded a postural proceptive display given by females engaged in sexual activity. Nearly half of all mating females […]
Extreme synchrony, amplitude modulation and phase reversals in the semilunar reproductive cycle of the intertidal false limpet Siphonaria gigas on a rocky shore in Panama
Meeting Abstract 30.1 Friday, Jan. 4 Extreme synchrony, amplitude modulation and phase reversals in the semilunar reproductive cycle of the intertidal false limpet Siphonaria gigas on a rocky shore in Panama CHRISTY, JOHN H; Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute christyj@si.edu Many intertidal organisms produce gametes or larvae once or twice each lunar month when tidal conditions most favor […]
Symbiont transmission and maintenance of interspecific disequilibrium in structured populations
Meeting Abstract 29.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Symbiont transmission and maintenance of interspecific disequilibrium in structured populations FITZPATRICK, B. M.; Univ. of Tennessee benfitz@utk.edu Microbial symbioses might be as ubiquitous and influential as genes in the evolution and development of some plant and animal phenotypes, and in some cases (e.g., mitochondria) the line is blurred between symbiont and […]

KONOW, N*; VON BUSSE, R; CHENEY, JA; BREUER, KS; SWARTZ, SM; Brown University nkonow@brown.edu Aerodynamics theory predicts a U-shaped relationship between flight power and speed: The cost of transport should be lower at intermediate […]
The cost of performance power cost and aerodynamic force generated by varying wingbeat kinematics
Meeting Abstract 28.6 Friday, Jan. 4 The cost of performance: power cost and aerodynamic force generated by varying wingbeat kinematics BAHLMAN, JW*; SWARTZ, SM; BREUER, KS; Brown University; Brown University; Brown University joseph_bahlman@brown.edu Bats display a wide range of flight behaviors, including steady flight, rapid acceleration, sharp turns, and load carrying. These behaviors require different combinations of […]
