Habitat management affects traits tied to individual fitness parasites, signals, and performance
Meeting Abstract P3-234 Saturday, Jan. 6 15:30 – 17:30 Habitat management affects traits tied to individual fitness: parasites, signals, and performance MCBRAYER, LD*; ORTON, RW; KINSEY, CT; Georgia Southern University lancemcbrayer@georgiasouthern.edu Organismal fitness is determined by a myriad of underlying morphological, physiological and genetic traits. In turn, selection may act differentially on these traits due to ecological […]

Population models, […]
Glucose Transporter Regulation in Response to Recently Ingested Carbohydrate in the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris
Meeting Abstract P3-48 Saturday, Jan. 6 15:30 – 17:30 Glucose Transporter Regulation in Response to Recently Ingested Carbohydrate in the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris. ALI, RS*; WELCH, KC; University of Toronto; University of Toronto raafay.ali@mail.utoronto.ca Ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) power energetically expensive behaviour almost entirely with recently ingested carbohydrates. When fasting, hummingbirds are capable of supporting metabolism […]
Galanin Neuron Distribution and Activation in a Fish with Alternative Reproductive Tactics
Meeting Abstract P3-109 Saturday, Jan. 6 15:30 – 17:30 Galanin Neuron Distribution and Activation in a Fish with Alternative Reproductive Tactics TRIPP, JA*; BASS, AH; Cornell University; Cornell University jat334@cornell.edu http://joeltripp.weebly.com Studies across vertebrate lineages show that galanin (gal) is a neuropeptide that plays an important role in regulating both reproductive and parental behavior. We have found […]
Functional Consequences of Morphological Variation in Sulfide Spring Fishes
Meeting Abstract P3-174 Saturday, Jan. 6 15:30 – 17:30 Functional Consequences of Morphological Variation in Sulfide Spring Fishes CAMARILLO, H*; TOBLER, M; Kansas State University; Kansas State University hcamaril@ksu.edu Natural selection drives the evolution of traits to optimize organismal performance in the context of their environment. However, optimization of one trait or function may adversely impact the […]

Fitness Benefits of Paternal Mitochondrial Transmission in Intra-Species Hybrids
Meeting Abstract P3-208 Saturday, Jan. 6 15:30 – 17:30 Fitness Benefits of Paternal Mitochondrial Transmission in Intra-Species Hybrids ADINEH, S; ROSS, J*; California State University, Fresno; California State University, Fresno jross@csufresno.edu http://www.rossbiology.com Although mitochondria are predominantly inherited maternally, empirical results suggest that hybridization often elicits paternal mitochondrial transmission. Thus, it is possible that hybridization, through separation of […]
