Vascular patterns in galliform birds regions of thermal exchange
Meeting Abstract P3.145 Thursday, Jan. 6 Vascular patterns in galliform birds: regions of thermal exchange PORTER, W.R.*; WITMER, L.M.; Ohio University; Ohio University wp298308@ohio.edu The thermoregulatory ability of the avian head stems mainly from the rete mirabile ophthalmicum (RO), a vascular physiological device that functions to regulate the temperatures of the brain and eye somewhat independently from […]
Variations in tendon material properties among muscles
Meeting Abstract P3.133 Thursday, Jan. 6 Variations in tendon material properties among muscles MATSON, A.P.*; KONOW, P.; KONOW, N.; ROBERTS, T.J.; Brown University; Brown University; Brown University; Brown University Andrew_Matson@Brown.edu A tendon’s stiffness affects its ability store elastic energy, provide mechanical feedback, and amplify or attenuate muscle power. Variation in elastic modulus (material stiffness) among different tendons […]

Thermal and water balance physiology of attacking mountain pine beetles
Meeting Abstract P3.138 Thursday, Jan. 6 Thermal and water balance physiology of attacking mountain pine beetles GRAY, EM*; BOWEN, CM; The Colorado College emilie.gray@coloradocollege.edu In recent years, mountain pine beetles (Dendroctonus ponderosae) have been decimating coniferous forests throughout the northern Rocky Mountains in areas where outbreaks were previously unheard of. Possible reasons for the current epidemic include […]
The thermal ecology of open-habitat and forest lizards and their potential response to climate change
Meeting Abstract P3.137 Thursday, Jan. 6 The thermal ecology of open-habitat and forest lizards and their potential response to climate change LOGAN, Michael L; Dartmouth College michael.l.logan@dartmouth.edu Recent studies suggest that tropical forest lizards may be more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than other ectotherms. This may, in part, be due to the potential for […]
