Locomotor performance of lizards during pursuit of prey and evasion from predators
Meeting Abstract 18.6 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:30 Locomotor performance of lizards during pursuit of prey and evasion from predators ANDERSON, R A; Western Washington Univ. Roger.Anderson@wwu.edu A robust, comprehensive study of locomotory capabilities in a terrestrial vertebrate requires adequate observation and testing in the field as well as in the lab. Terrestrial lizards in desert scrub are […]

Hidden Asymmetry in Shape of Biological Patterns
Meeting Abstract 142-7 Sunday, Jan. 7 15:00 – 15:15 Hidden Asymmetry in Shape of Biological Patterns SERGEY, baranov; University od Vladimir bar.serg58@gmail.com he asymmetry is studied on different biosystemic levels. The deviation from perfect bilateral symmetry is a phenomen, which mean the turns in metabolic paths responsible for developmental homeostasis. There is an importance of unbiased estimates […]
