Time has come today The importance of hormonal circadian rhythms underlying daily-rhythmic life history adaptation

Meeting Abstract S10-11  Monday, Jan. 7 15:00 – 15:30  Time has come today. The importance of hormonal circadian rhythms underlying daily-rhythmic life history adaptation ZERA, Anthony/J; University of Nebraska azera1@unl.edu Seasonal changes in the hormonal regulation of life history traits are recognized as an important aspect of life history adaptation and have attracted considerable attention. Yet, corresponding […]

The Fundamental Flaws of Fundamental Niche Models

Meeting Abstract S10-2  Monday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 09:00  The Fundamental Flaws of Fundamental Niche Models ANGILLETTA, MJ*; LEVY, O; SEARS, MW; VANDENBROOKS, JM; Arizona State Univ.; Tel Aviv Univ.; Clemson University; Midwestern University ma@asu.edu Biologists have increasingly used mechanistic models to predict species ranges during global change. Still, these models require assumptions about fundamental niches that […]

Shifting environmental stressors across ontology in vertebrate ectotherms

Meeting Abstract S10-5  Monday, Jan. 7 10:30 – 11:00  Shifting environmental stressors across ontology in vertebrate ectotherms SEARS, MW*; RIDDELL, EA; ANGILLETTA, MJ; Clemson University Thermalecology@gmail.com Many organisms experience distinctly different abiotic environments across their lifetimes. For instance, in terrestrial oviparous species, developing embryos experience microclimates selected by their mothers without the opportunity for behavior to alleviate […]

Parental incubation behavior is a key link between environmental conditions and avian phenotype

Meeting Abstract S10-10  Monday, Jan. 7 14:30 – 15:00  Parental incubation behavior is a key link between environmental conditions and avian phenotype DURANT, Sarah; Univ of Arkansas sedurant@uark.edu Variation in average nest temperature exists within avian populations. In both altricial and precocial species, these differences in temperature have significant implications for secondary sex ratios of hatchlings and […]
