These patterns are […]
Physiological and phenological correlates of the seasonal niche in a C3-C4 intermediate
Meeting Abstract S4-8 Friday, Jan. 6 11:30 – 12:00 Physiological and phenological correlates of the seasonal niche in a C3-C4 intermediate HEREFORD, J; Univ. of California, Davis jhereford@ucdavis.edu Niche breadth results from physiological and phenological expression. The seasonal niche describes the time of year that an organism is expected to grow and reproduce. I quantified seasonal niche […]
Life history adaptations to seasonality
Meeting Abstract S4-7 Friday, Jan. 6 11:00 – 11:30 Life history adaptations to seasonality VARPE, Øystein; University Centre in Svalbard oystein.varpe@unis.no https://sites.google.com/site/seasonalecologygroup/ Seasonality is a central template in nature and an important selective force. Organisms display a range of adaptations to the abiotic and biotic processes that make up seasonal environments, leading to periodic time windows for […]
Introduction to Evolutionary Impacts of Seasonality symposium
Meeting Abstract S4-1 Friday, Jan. 6 07:50 – 08:00 Introduction to Evolutionary Impacts of Seasonality symposium RAGLAND, GJ*; WILLIAMS, CM; U Colorado, Denver; UC Berkeley cmw@berkeley.edu Organisms living in seasonal environments experience fluctuating selection pressures that influence their ecology and physiology, and drive their evolution.
