Let’s get physical Viewing ecological immunology through the lens of exercise physiology to disentangle the effects of movement and migration
Meeting Abstract S7-3 Wednesday, Jan. 6 09:00 Let\\\’s get physical! Viewing ecological immunology through the lens of exercise physiology to disentangle the effects of movement and migration. MATSON, K.D.*; VAN DIJK, J.G.B.; Wageningen University; University of Cambridge kevin.matson@wur.nl http://tiny.cc/kdmatson Animal migration is a complex phenomenon with many physiological mechanisms and consequences. The act of moving, or locomotion, […]
How does infection alter animal migrations
Meeting Abstract S7-5 Wednesday, Jan. 6 10:30 How does infection alter animal migrations? HOYE, Bethany J*; BAUER, Silke S; Deakin University, Geelong, Australia; Swiss Institue for Ornithology bethany.h@deakin.edu.au http://www.deakin.edu.au/profiles/bethany-hoye Migratory animals are thought to play a unique role in parasite dynamics and disease epidemics, both within and between resident communities. The importance of migration in disease ecology […]
Hannibal goes for a stroll How diet and migration can compromise immunity
Meeting Abstract S7-4 Wednesday, Jan. 6 09:30 Hannibal goes for a stroll: How diet and migration can compromise immunity SRYGLEY, R.B.*; USDA-Agricultural Research Service robert.srygley@ars.usda.gov Migration is often associated with movement away from scarce nutrients or other resources, and yet migration itself is energetically demanding. Mormon crickets walk in dense aggregations over rangeland. In some of these […]

Trait development and evolution in trilobites
Meeting Abstract S7-6 Saturday, Jan. 7 11:00 – 11:30 Trait development and evolution in trilobites HOPKINS, Melanie J.; American Museum of Natural History mhopkins@amnh.org Trilobites offer the best fossil record of any arthropod. This is due to a number of factors, most notably the combination of 1) having inhabited areas where organisms are more likely to be […]
The evolution of the gene regulatory networks that define arthropod body plans
Meeting Abstract S7-8 Saturday, Jan. 7 13:30 – 14:00 The evolution of the gene regulatory networks that define arthropod body plans CHIPMAN, A.D.; The Hebrew Univ. ariel.chipman@mail.huji.ac.il Our understanding of the genetics of arthropod body plan development originally stems from work on Drosophila melanogaster from the late 1970s and onwards. In Drosophila there is a relatively detailed […]
Problems and progresses in Ecdysozoan relationships do we have an emerging consensus
Meeting Abstract S7-1 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:00 – 08:30 Problems and progresses in Ecdysozoan relationships: do we have an emerging consensus? PISANI, D; University of Bristol davide.pisani@bristol.ac.uk Ecdysozoa represent one of the three main lineages of bilaterally symmetrical animals. The oldest, confirmed, fossil evidence of bilateral animal activity is represented by the ~541 million of years old […]
