How much can hummingbirds increase nectar consumption during extreme energetic demand
Meeting Abstract P3-2 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 How much can hummingbirds increase nectar consumption during extreme energetic demand? ELTING, R.L.*; POWERS, D.R.; George Fox Univ., Newberg, OR; George Fox Univ., Newberg, OR relting13@georgefox.edu Hummingbirds might be limited in their ability to increase nectar consumption because most water consumed is absorbed and processed through their kidneys. If water […]
How developmentally mature are chicks at fledging Variation in hematology during a critical life-history transition
Meeting Abstract P3-94 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 How developmentally mature are chicks at fledging? Variation in hematology during a critical life-history transition HOU, JJ*; CORNELL, A; WILLIAMS, TD; Simon Fraser University jha165@sfu.ca Body condition at life-history transitions, or “developmental milestones”, is known to affect fitness across a wide range of taxa. In passerines, the immediate post-fledging stage […]

Hatchling ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata ornata) prefer safety over thermoregulation
Meeting Abstract P3-180 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Hatchling ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata ornata) prefer safety over thermoregulation. NEYER, A.A.*; BACHMAN, G.C.; University of Nebraska-Lincoln; University of Nebraska-Lincoln neyeraa@gmail.com Juvenile organisms may be faced with conflicting decisions regarding behaviors that promote their growth, development, and survival. In ectothermic animals, juveniles may be expected to seek habitats that […]
