The power of physiology in changing landscapes considerations for the continued integration of conservation and physiology
Meeting Abstract S2.1 Sunday, Jan. 4 08:00 The power of physiology in changing landscapes: considerations for the continued integration of conservation and physiology MADLIGER, C.L.*; LOVE, O.P.; University of Windsor, Ontario; University of Windsor, Ontario madlige@uwindsor.ca The field of conservation physiology employs physiological measures (e.g., metabolites, glucocorticoids, immune factors, etc.) to understand how organisms and populations respond […]

Linking landscape-scale disturbances to stress and condition of resident fishes implications for restoration and conservation
Meeting Abstract S2.10 Sunday, Jan. 4 14:30 Linking landscape-scale disturbances to stress and condition of resident fishes: implications for restoration and conservation SUSKI, Cory/D*; COOKE, Steven/J; University of Illinois; Carleton University suski@illinois.edu http://fishlab.nres.illinois.edu/ Human activities that alter land use, such as urbanization and increased agriculture, can negatively impact habitat for resident organisms. More importantly, habitat choices have […]
Geophysiology of the wood frog Integrative assessment of population health at different spatial scales and life stages
Meeting Abstract S2.9 Sunday, Jan. 4 14:00 Geophysiology of the wood frog: Integrative assessment of population health at different spatial scales and life stages CRESPI, Erica J*; RISSLER, Leslie J; Washington State University; University of Alabama erica.crespi@wsu.edu While correlations among risk of extinction, genetic variability, and physiological stress are widely assumed, few studies have directly measured the […]

Meeting Abstract S2.2 Sunday, Jan. 4 08:30 Fishing for effective conservation: context and biotic variation key to understanding post-release survival of Pacific salmon COOKE, S.J.*; DONALDSON, M.R.; RABY, G.D.; PATTERSON, D.A.; FARRELL, A.P.; GALE, M.; ROBINSON, K.; NGUYEN, V.; JEFFRIES, K.; ELIASON, E.; MARTINS, E.; HINCH, S.G.; Carleton Univ, Ottawa; Univ of British Columbia, Vancouver; Carleton Univ, […]
Welcome and introduction to the symposium
Meeting Abstract S2-1 Monday, Jan. 4 07:55 Welcome and introduction to the symposium LINDGREN, AR; Portland State University alindgre@gmail.com Our objective in offering this symposium is to synthesize current knowledge of extremophile biology by uniting a diverse group of researchers who do not generally attend the same meetings, but ask similar questions regarding genomics, physiology, ecology, and […]
Using ecological niche modeling to understand distribution of a deep-sea eel
Meeting Abstract S2-6 Monday, Jan. 4 10:30 Using ecological niche modeling to understand distribution of a deep-sea eel DEVANEY, S.C.; Los Angeles Pierce College devanesc@piercecollege.edu http://faculty.piercecollege.edu/devanesc/ The ocean’s midwaters (the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones) make up the largest living space on the planet, but are undersampled and relatively poorly understood. The true distribution of many midwater species, […]
The effects of oxygen deprivation on the development of a vertebrate extremophile
Meeting Abstract S2-5 Monday, Jan. 4 09:30 The effects of oxygen deprivation on the development of a vertebrate extremophile PODRABSKY, J.E.; Portland State University jpod@pdx.edu http://www.pdx.edu/podrabsky-lab/ Hypoxia is typically a potent inhibitor of vertebrate development and even brief exposures can lead to abnormal development or death. Embryos of the annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus can develop normally across […]
