-We will give an overview of the R Project for Statistical Computing and discuss the many advantages of conducting analysis in the R framework.  These include ease of manipulating data, presentation quality graphics, powerful and flexible statistics, ability to archive methods through the use of scripts, availability for most operating systems, and no-cost availability.

-We studied hatching plasticity in spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) embryos by exposing them to combinations of egg and larval predator cues.  Animals exposed to egg predators hatched out earlier regardless of whether larval predators were present or not. Animals exposed to larval predators only had the largest tail areas and survived longest in lethal predation trials.  However, animals exposed to both predators had intermediate tail morphology and survival times indicating costs of hatching out early.  The early effects of hatching plasticity were no longer detectable at metamorphosis indicating there are no long-term costs of hatching plasticity on growth or developmental rates.
