Interaction of nutrition and UV radiation on Daphnia
Meeting Abstract P3.29 Friday, Jan. 6 Interaction of nutrition and UV radiation on Daphnia TOBIAS, M.S.*; CONNELLY, S.J.; Rochester Institute of Technology mst9615@rit.edu In nearly all of Earth’s ecosystems, organisms are being forced to develop mechanisms that will increase their fitness (survival and reproduction) in response to global climate change. Studies of the physiological and behavioral responses […]
Impact of ocean acidification on development and energetics of porcelain crab early life history stages
Meeting Abstract P3.109 Friday, Jan. 6 Impact of ocean acidification on development and energetics of porcelain crab early life history stages CARTER, H.A.*; CEBALLOS, L.; MILLER, N.; STILLMAN, J.H.; San Francisco State University hacarter@sfsu.edu Oceans are acidifying as a consequence of absorbing elevated levels of atmospheric CO2. Results of ocean acidification (OA) studies in crustaceans are conflicting […]
