Identification of a leptin-like protein in red-sided garter snakes and its effects on reproductive behavior
Meeting Abstract P1-144 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Identification of a leptin-like protein in red-sided garter snakes and its effects on reproductive behavior WILSON, RC*; LUTTERSCHMIDT, DI; Portland State University rwilson@pdx.edu The cost-benefit paradigm between reproduction and survival is a common biological theme. Despite much research, the endocrine mechanisms that allow organisms to mediate trade-offs between […]

Hummingbird wing trill production over a range of flight speeds
Meeting Abstract P1-262 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Hummingbird wing trill production over a range of flight speeds CLARK, CJ*; MISTICK, E; UC Riverside; UC Riverside cclark@ucr.edu http://animalaeroacoustics.ucr.edu/ Hummingbirds are famous for the hum of their wings in flight. In addition, males of some species produce a high-frequency sound, the wing trill, with modified wingtip feathers. […]
How Pigeon-inspired Morphed Wings Affect Glide Performance in Turbulence
Meeting Abstract P1-259 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 How Pigeon-inspired Morphed Wings Affect Glide Performance in Turbulence CHANG, E*; LENTINK, D; Stanford University; Stanford University echang7@stanford.edu While micro air vehicles have difficulty flying in highly turbulent conditions such as dense urban landscapes, many birds can navigate through these environments with ease. Avian wing morphing leads to […]
How Hummingbirds Lift Bodyweight During Hovering Flight
Meeting Abstract P1-263 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 How Hummingbirds Lift Bodyweight During Hovering Flight INGERSOLL, R*; LENTINK, D; Stanford University; Stanford University riversi@stanford.edu Both hummingbirds and insects hover with flapping wings to forage, a remarkable example of behavioral convergence despite profound differences in body plans. For efficiency, insects rely on elastic recoil to beat their […]

Classically, the evolution of this trait, along with increased body […]
Glucocorticoids predict the honesty of direct benefits associated with a sexually selected trait in the mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides)
Meeting Abstract P1-121 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Glucocorticoids predict the honesty of direct benefits associated with a sexually selected trait in the mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides). BERK, SA*; BREUNER, CW; University of Montana; University of Montana sara.berk@umconnect.umt.edu Models of the process of sexual selection necessitate a mechanism that maintains honesty, but it is unclear if […]
