Meeting Abstract S5-2  Saturday, Jan. 5 08:00 – 08:30  How Truly Conserved is the “Well-Conserved” Vertebrate Stress Response? ROMERO, L. Michael; Tufts University michael.romero@tufts.edu The vertebrate stress response is considered to be a highly conserved suite of responses that are evolved to help animals survive noxious environmental stimuli. The two major pathways of the stress response include […]

Meeting Abstract S5-7  Saturday, Jan. 5 11:00 – 11:30  Epigenetic mechanisms for plasticity in coping with environmental change RUBENSTEIN, DR; Columbia University dr2497@columbia.edu http://www.columbia.edu/~dr2497/ If organisms are to persist in the face of climate change, they must be able to deal not only with increasing temperatures, but also greater climatic variation. One of the primary ways animals […]

Meeting Abstract S5-6  Saturday, Jan. 5 10:30 – 11:00  Damage-fitness model: Integrating stress physiology models WADA, H; Auburn University haruka@auburn.edu https://www.wadalaboratory.com/ Over the last decade, several theoretical models have been put forth to describe how animals respond to an adverse environment and how this response changes throughout the animals’ lives and physiological demands. These models capture the […]

Meeting Abstract S5-1  Saturday, Jan. 5 07:50 – 08:00  A brief introduction to the symposium HEIDINGER, Britt*; WADA, Haruka; WADA, Haruka; North Dakota State University; Auburn University haruka@auburn.edu https://www.wadalaboratory.com/ Most organisms initiate a highly conserved ‘stress response’ in the face of environmental and social stressors. Assumptions are that variation in the way in which individuals respond to […]
