Does corticosterone exposure mediate disease avoidance strategies in zebra finches
Meeting Abstract P3-61 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Does corticosterone exposure mediate disease avoidance strategies in zebra finches? SCHREIER, KC*; GRINDSTAFF, JL; Oklahoma State University; Oklahoma State University kaati.schreier@okstate.edu Disease exposure is a universal threat to all organisms, and self-defense can occur in a variety of ways. Individuals can proactively prevent disease through avoidance behaviors. However, if they […]
Does blood loss explain ectoparasite-induced changes in nestling development
Meeting Abstract P3-55 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Does blood loss explain ectoparasite-induced changes in nestling development? ODETUNDE, A.O.*; CASTO, J.M.; Illinois State University; Illinois State University aodetun@ilstu.edu We investigated how blood loss and other outcomes of hematophagous mite infestations contribute to previously reported developmental trade-offs in European starling nestlings. We first microwaved nests to reduce ectoparasites in […]

Does Host Plasticity Promote Shifts by Parasites
Meeting Abstract P3-45 Wednesday, Jan. 6 15:30 Does Host Plasticity Promote Shifts by Parasites? MASON, P.A.; MASON, Peri; Univ. of Colorado, Boulder peri.mason@colorado.edu http://perimason.weebly.com/ It is increasingly recognized that ecological speciation plays a significant role in the diversification of parasites, a major component of biodiversity on Earth. Understanding mechanisms that promote or constrain host shifts by parasites […]
