Escape responses in freely flying fruit flies
Meeting Abstract P1.70 Friday, Jan. 4 Escape responses in freely flying fruit flies MUIJRES, FT*; DICKINSON, M; Univ. of Washington, Seattle; Univ. of Washington, Seattle fmuijres@uw.edu Fruit flies and other insects possess a range of stereotypic flight responses that are triggered by particular sensory stimuli. One such example is an evasive maneuver in response to looming stimuli, […]

Energy Budgets for Florida Scrub-jays a Changing Landscape Matters
Meeting Abstract P1.188 Friday, Jan. 4 Energy Budgets for Florida Scrub-jays: a Changing Landscape Matters ELLIS, H.I.*; BOWMAN, R.; University of San Diego; Archbold Biological Station ellis@sandiego.edu Field metabolic rates (FMR) were measured on Florida scrub-jays (Aphelecoma coerulescens) in two habitats using doubly labeled water. One group of jays lived in wildland habitat; the other in a […]
Energetics of Blainville’s Horned Lizards, Phrynosoma blainvillii, in Disturbed and Undisturbed Habitats
Meeting Abstract P1.184 Friday, Jan. 4 Energetics of Blainville’s Horned Lizards, Phrynosoma blainvillii, in Disturbed and Undisturbed Habitats BROWN, T.K.*; MERSCHEIM, M.; DAVIDSON, E.; CSU San Marcos traceyb@csusm.edu Blainville’s Horned Lizard, Phrynosoma blainvillii, is considered a California state species of special concern. The distribution of this species has declined dramatically in so. Cal. largely because of habitat […]
