Joint Synergies in Nut Cracking in Wild Bearded Capuchin Monkeys
Meeting Abstract P1-287 Thursday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Joint Synergies in Nut Cracking in Wild Bearded Capuchin Monkeys MANGALAM, M*; FRAGASZY, DM; University of Georgia madhur.mangalam@uga.edu http://psychology.uga.edu/directory/madhur-mangalam A few wild populations of bearded capuchin monkeys, Sapajus libidinosus use stones and wood pieces in their natural form for pounding palm nuts and other encased food. In the […]

Investigating the acute impacts of multiple environmental stressors on zebra mussel physiology
Meeting Abstract P1-202 Thursday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Investigating the acute impacts of multiple environmental stressors on zebra mussel physiology WALTON, MD*; JOST, JA; Bradley University mwalton@mail.bradley.edu Given that invertebrates can be commercially important, indicators of ecosystem health and climate change, or invasive, their physiology is of interest. As conformers, invertebrates experience physiological changes as temperature […]
Investigating the physiological effects of chronic cold exposure in the invasive zebra mussel
Meeting Abstract P1-203 Thursday, Jan. 4 15:30 – 17:30 Investigating the physiological effects of chronic cold exposure in the invasive zebra mussel MUSAITIF, D; JOST, JA*; Bradley University jjost@bradley.edu For sessile invertebrates, temperature fluctuations are unavoidable and often deleterious, causing reduced performance or survival. While there are many studies on heat stress in invertebrates, less is known […]
