Meeting Abstract S6-2.2 Thursday, Jan. 5 Mechanisms of acclimation to pollutants and elevated temperature in aquatic organisms. Changes of the cellular phenotype revealed by proteomics. SILVESTRE, Frederic; University of Namur frederic.silvestre@fundp.ac.be Acclimation, in contrast to evolutionary adaptation, can be defined as a “within lifetime” phenotypic adaptation to an environmental parameter involving a suite of adjustments that allow […]

The effects of changing nutrient inputs on sexual selection dynamics and life history evolution
Meeting Abstract S6-2.4 Sunday, Jan. 6 The effects of changing nutrient inputs on sexual selection dynamics and life history evolution SNELL-ROOD, EC*; MOREHOUSE, NI; University of Minnesota; University of Pittsburgh emilies@umn.edu Discussions of rapid human-induced environmental change often focus on the loss or disruption of critical resources, such as habitat destruction, pesticide contamination or drought in the […]
Plasticity, selection, and the potential for adaptation in newly established populations
Meeting Abstract S6-2.2 Sunday, Jan. 6 Plasticity, selection, and the potential for adaptation in newly established populations GHALAMBOR, C.K.*; HANDELSMAN, C.A.; RUELL, E.W.; Colorado State. Univ.; Colorado State. Univ.; Colorado State. Univ. cameron1@colostate.edu Novel environments often impose directional selection for a new phenotypic optimum. However, new environments can also be a source of phenotypic variation by inducing […]
Integrating stress physiology with quantitative evolutionary models to predict population responses to environmental change An amphibian perspective
Meeting Abstract S6-2.3 Sunday, Jan. 6 Integrating stress physiology with quantitative evolutionary models to predict population responses to environmental change: An amphibian perspective CRESPI, Erica J.*; WARNE, Robin W.; LEDON-RETTIG, Cristina C.; Washington State University; Southern Illinois University; North Carolina State University erica.crespi@wsu.edu The allostatic load and reactive scope conceptual models provide a rubric for integrating neuroendocrine […]
Behavioral responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC)
Meeting Abstract S6-2.1 Sunday, Jan. 6 Behavioral responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) SIH, A.; University of California, Davis asih@ucdavis.edu A key issue in animal behaviour is the need to understand variation in behavioral responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (habitat loss, exotic species, pollution, human harvesting, and climate change). Why do some individuals exhibit maladaptive […]
