Thermal Performance of an Exotic Gekkonid and the Effects of n-3 PUFAs on Immunity
Meeting Abstract P3-42 Monday, Jan. 6 Thermal Performance of an Exotic Gekkonid and the Effects of n-3 PUFAs on Immunity DALLAS, JW*; DEUTSCH, M; WARNE, RW; Southern Illinois University, Carbondale jason.dallas@siu.edu Environmental temperature is a driving force in ectothermic physiology and is a limiting resource in temperature habitats. We examined the sprint speed and innate immune ability […]

The hormonal control of anuran ossification sequences
Meeting Abstract P3-28 Monday, Jan. 6 The hormonal control of anuran ossification sequences CHEUNG, JA*; ROSE, CS; James Madison University cheun2ja@dukes.jmu.edu Amphibians acquire bones postembryonically, over larval growth and metamorphosis. They also show considerable interspecific variation in ossification sequence. Most postembryonic changes in metamorphosing amphibians are mediated by thyroid hormone (TH) and many frogs have developmental patterns […]

The effects of FMRFamide and APKQYVRFamide on the same isolated crop-gizzards of earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris
Meeting Abstract P3-109 Monday, Jan. 6 The effects of FMRFamide and APKQYVRFamide on the same isolated crop-gizzards of earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris FARMER, L.*; KRAJNIAK, K.; Southern Illinois University Edwardsville lofarme@siue.edu The motility of the earthworm crop-gizzard is modulated by several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Among these molecules are FMRFamide and APKQYVRFAmide. FMRFamide has been found in worms from […]
