SICB Annual Meeting 2019
January 3-7, 2019
Tampa, FL
January 5 – Symposium S4: Adaptation and Evolution of Biological Materials (SICB Wide)
Location: Rooms 16&17
Biological materials, whether inside or outside an organism, play a vital role in survival and mediation of interactions with the environment. Although the characterization of biomaterials performance has leapt forward in the past decades, our understanding of how performance varies and is shaped across ecology or evolutionary history lags behind. Is performance at a material level selected for in evolution? How do abiotic factors limit and enhance function? How do materials respond, adapt, and evolve with environment and organism?
The speakers in this symposium address these questions across a range of systems and organizational scales, from skeletal form-function evolution to material-mediated vibration sensing, structural color, and plant and animal anchoring tools. This symposium highlights emerging work on structure-function relationships and fabrication of biological materials, while showcasing -through the lectures and a lunch workshop- how modern materials characterization tools can augment integrative studies of organismal adaptation and evolution.
