Rhythmic Neuroendocrine Expression of DNA Methyltransferase Enzymes in Seasonal Models
Meeting Abstract S2-11 Saturday, Jan. 4 14:00 – 14:30 Rhythmic Neuroendocrine Expression of DNA Methyltransferase Enzymes in Seasonal Models TOLLA, E; University of Glasgow 2038705T@student.gla.ac.uk Seasonal reproduction is a strategy used by temperate zone animals to maximise the propagation of the species. The hypothalamus in birds and mammals is responsible for timing seasonal breeding. Seasonal epigenetic modifications […]
Introduction to Epigenetic Variation in Endocrine Systems
Meeting Abstract S2-1 Saturday, Jan. 4 07:45 – 08:00 Introduction to Epigenetic Variation in Endocrine Systems HANSON, H; MARTIN, LB; STEVENSON, TJ*; University of South Florida; University of South Florida; University of Glasgow tyler.stevenson@glasgow.ac.uk Predictable variation in environmental cues provide reliable information that animals can use to time life-history transitions. Endocrine systems have evolved in part, to […]
Genetic and epigenetic influences on alternative tactics in the mostly monogamous prairie vole
Meeting Abstract S2-7 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:00 – 11:30 Genetic and epigenetic influences on alternative tactics in the mostly monogamous prairie vole PHELPS, SM; PHELPS, Steven; University of Texas at Austin sphelps@utexas.edu http://phelpslab.net Social behavior is among the most complex and variable of phenotypes. Optimal behaviors often depend on the strategies prevalent in a given population. In […]
Epigenetics and Reproductive Trade-offs in Response to Stress
Meeting Abstract S2-9 Saturday, Jan. 4 13:30 – 14:00 Epigenetics and Reproductive Trade-offs in Response to Stress CHAMPAGNE, FA; University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX fchampagne@utexas.edu https://labs.la.utexas.edu/champagne/ Exposure to stress during development can shape a broad range of phenotypic outcomes. In addition to programming response to stressors, these early experiences shape later life reproductive outcomes. Theoretical […]

Epigenetic effects on thermal tolerance and resource use shifts in insects, with implications for range shift potential and life history syndromes
Meeting Abstract S2-3 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:30 – 09:00 Epigenetic effects on thermal tolerance and resource use shifts in insects, with implications for range shift potential and life history syndromes LANCASTER, LT*; MCCAW, B; ARESHI, S; LEONARD, A; MOORE, B; STEVENSON, TJ; University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom; University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom; University of Aberdeen, […]
Epigenetic Programming and the Evolution of Adaptive Coping
Meeting Abstract S2-5 Saturday, Jan. 4 10:00 – 10:30 Epigenetic Programming and the Evolution of Adaptive Coping RUBENSTEIN, DR; Columbia University dr2497@columbia.edu http://www.columbia.edu/~dr2497/ Stressors during development can influence physiology, phenotype, and ultimately fitness later in life. Such development programming can be both adaptive by preparing organisms to deal with environmental conditions later on, or it can be […]
