The challenge and promise of integrating wind tunnel and field studies of endurance of flight migratory birds
Meeting Abstract S2-4 Thursday, Jan. 5 09:30 – 10:00 The challenge and promise of integrating wind tunnel and field studies of endurance of flight migratory birds GUGLIELMO, Christopher/G.; Western University cguglie2@uwo.ca Migrating birds can sustain the high rate of energy expenditure required for flight for as long as a week or more without supplemental food or water. […]
Physiological and Biomechanical Mechanisms of Distance Specific Human Running Performance
Meeting Abstract S2-10 Thursday, Jan. 5 14:30 – 15:00 Physiological and Biomechanical Mechanisms of Distance Specific Human Running Performance. THOMPSON, M.A.*; KNIGHT-MALONEY, M.; Fort Lewis College; Fort Lewis College mathompson@fortlewis.edu Running events range from 60m sprints ultra-marathons covering 100mi or more, which presents an interesting diversity in terms of the parameters for successful performance. Here, we review […]
Ontogeny of Pectoralis Function and Flight Capacity in Birds
Meeting Abstract S2-3 Thursday, Jan. 5 09:00 – 09:30 Ontogeny of Pectoralis Function and Flight Capacity in Birds TOBALSKE, BW*; JACKSON, BE; DIAL, KP; Univ. of Montana, Missoula; Longwood Univ., Farmville, VA; Univ. of Montana, Missoula bret.tobalske@mso.umt.edu http://hs.umt.edu/dbs/flightlab/ Flight is the defining characteristic of birds yet the mechanisms through which flight ability develops are virtually unknown. Wing-assisted […]
Metamorphosis and the resolution of ontogenetic conflict
Meeting Abstract S2-2 Thursday, Jan. 5 08:30 – 09:00 Metamorphosis and the resolution of ontogenetic conflict CALSBEEK, Ryan; Dartmouth College ryan.calsbeek@dartmouth.edu Life-history theory is a cornerstone of modern evolutionary biology that addresses myriad phenomena ranging from demography and population structure to the evolution of ageing and senescence. Trade-offs may arise in a number of contexts, from allocation-based […]
Locomotion, energetics, performance, and behavior a mammalian perspective on lizards, and vice versa
Meeting Abstract S2-7 Thursday, Jan. 5 11:30 – 12:00 Locomotion, energetics, performance, and behavior: a mammalian perspective on lizards, and vice versa GARLAND, JR., T.*; ALBUQUERQUE, R.L.; Univ. of California, Riverside tgarland@ucr.edu http://biology.ucr.edu/people/faculty/Garland.html Animals are constrained by their abilities and by interactions with various environmental factors. Constraints range from physical impossibilities to energetic inefficiencies, and may entail […]
Exercising when sick The role of pathogens on animal activity
Meeting Abstract S2-8 Thursday, Jan. 5 13:30 – 14:00 Exercising when sick: The role of pathogens on animal activity BINNING, Sandra A*; SHAW, Allison K; ROCHE, Dominique G; University of Neuchâtel; University of Minnesota; University of Neuchâtel sandra.binning@unine.ch https://www2.unine.ch/ethol/sandra_binning Studies of animal exercise and movement largely assume that individuals are healthy and performing to the best of […]
Exercise fuel use in mammals Conserved patterns and evolved strategies for aerobic locomotion
Meeting Abstract S2-5 Thursday, Jan. 5 10:30 – 11:00 Exercise fuel use in mammals: Conserved patterns and evolved strategies for aerobic locomotion. MCCLELLAND, G.B.*; LYONS, S.A.; ROBERTSON, C.E.; McMaster University; McMaster University; McMaster University grantm@mcmaster.ca Effective aerobic locomotion depends on adequate delivery of oxygen and an appropriate allocation of metabolic substrates. The pattern of metabolic substrate use […]
