Meeting Abstract S3-2 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:30 – 09:00 Developmental Genetic Analysis of Tooth Number Variation in Sticklebacks MILLER, CT; University of California, Berkeley ctmiller@berkeley.edu http://mcb.berkeley.edu/labs/miller/ Patterning of the dentition varies widely across different vertebrates, typically reflecting adaptations to diet. To begin to understand the developmental and genetic basis of evolved differences in dental patterning, we have […]

Transposons, Stress and the Endocrinology of the Deep Genome
Meeting Abstract S2-12 Saturday, Jan. 4 14:30 – 15:00 Transposons, Stress and the Endocrinology of the Deep Genome HUNTER, R/G; University of Massachusetts Boston richard.hunter@umb.edu https://www.umb.edu/hunterlab Transposons have played a significant role in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes, and exaptation of transposons has led to innovations such as the mammalian placenta and the adaptive immune system. Since […]

Rhythmic Neuroendocrine Expression of DNA Methyltransferase Enzymes in Seasonal Models
Meeting Abstract S2-11 Saturday, Jan. 4 14:00 – 14:30 Rhythmic Neuroendocrine Expression of DNA Methyltransferase Enzymes in Seasonal Models TOLLA, E; University of Glasgow 2038705T@student.gla.ac.uk Seasonal reproduction is a strategy used by temperate zone animals to maximise the propagation of the species. The hypothalamus in birds and mammals is responsible for timing seasonal breeding. Seasonal epigenetic modifications […]
Introduction to Epigenetic Variation in Endocrine Systems
Meeting Abstract S2-1 Saturday, Jan. 4 07:45 – 08:00 Introduction to Epigenetic Variation in Endocrine Systems HANSON, H; MARTIN, LB; STEVENSON, TJ*; University of South Florida; University of South Florida; University of Glasgow tyler.stevenson@glasgow.ac.uk Predictable variation in environmental cues provide reliable information that animals can use to time life-history transitions. Endocrine systems have evolved in part, to […]
Genetic and epigenetic influences on alternative tactics in the mostly monogamous prairie vole
Meeting Abstract S2-7 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:00 – 11:30 Genetic and epigenetic influences on alternative tactics in the mostly monogamous prairie vole PHELPS, SM; PHELPS, Steven; University of Texas at Austin sphelps@utexas.edu http://phelpslab.net Social behavior is among the most complex and variable of phenotypes. Optimal behaviors often depend on the strategies prevalent in a given population. In […]
Epigenetics and Reproductive Trade-offs in Response to Stress
Meeting Abstract S2-9 Saturday, Jan. 4 13:30 – 14:00 Epigenetics and Reproductive Trade-offs in Response to Stress CHAMPAGNE, FA; University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX fchampagne@utexas.edu https://labs.la.utexas.edu/champagne/ Exposure to stress during development can shape a broad range of phenotypic outcomes. In addition to programming response to stressors, these early experiences shape later life reproductive outcomes. Theoretical […]
