Can the thermal conditions experienced during ontogeny have consequences on phenotypic flexibility in Phyllotis darwini
Meeting Abstract P1.143 Friday, Jan. 4 Can the thermal conditions experienced during ontogeny have consequences on phenotypic flexibility in Phyllotis darwini? CAVIERES, G*; NUñEZ-VILLEGAS, M; SABAT, P; Universidad de Chile; Universidad de Chile; Universidad de Chile griselcavieres@gmail.com We studied the putative effect of thermal history experienced during development on physiological flexibility of energetic traits (basal metabolic rate […]
Blocking testosterone action indirectly increases migratory restlessness during fall migration
Meeting Abstract P1.217 Friday, Jan. 4 Blocking testosterone action indirectly increases migratory restlessness during fall migration NEMETH, Z.*; RAMENOFSKY, M.; University of California, Davis znemeth05@gmail.com Unlike vernal migration, the role of testosterone in initiating and organizing fall migration is unknown. Although gonads are regressed and plasma levels of androgen are low at the outset of fall migration, […]
Biogeographic patterns in the reproductive timing of broadcast-spawners
Meeting Abstract P1.33 Friday, Jan. 4 Biogeographic patterns in the reproductive timing of broadcast-spawners COCKETT, P.M.*; BIRD, C.E.; Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi; Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi pcockett@islander.tamucc.edu There is strong selective pressure for synchronization of reproductive timing in broadcast-spawners, which reproduce by releasing their gametes into the water column. When studied in detail, […]
