Meeting Abstract S8-4 Saturday, Jan. 7 09:30 – 10:00 Using multi-level transcriptomics and metabolic measures to investigate the trade-off between performance and immunity BONNEAUD, Camille*; RICHARDS, Adam; HERREL, Anthony; SEEBACHER, Frank; WILSON, Robbie; University of Exeter, UK; University of Colorado, Denver; National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France; University of Sydney, Australia; University of Queensland, Australia c.bonneaud@exeter.ac.uk […]
Trade-offs in ecoimmunology Costs for individuals and populations
Meeting Abstract S8-2 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:30 – 09:00 Trade-offs in ecoimmunology: Costs for individuals and populations FRENCH, S.S.; Utah State University susannah.french@usu.edu The immune system is a critical component of health and fitness, whereby organisms must maintain sufficient health to survive to reproduce. Because of the key role of immunity in an organism’s fitness, the use […]
The role of physiological integrators in avian range expansions
Meeting Abstract S8-3 Saturday, Jan. 7 09:00 – 09:30 The role of physiological integrators in avian range expansions MARTIN, L. B.*; SCHREY, A. W.; HANSON, H. E.; KILVITIS, H. J.; Armstrong State University; University of South Florida; University of South Florida lbmartin@usf.edu http://organismalbiology.weebly.com Range expansions are becoming more common as humans move organisms around the planet and […]
The effect of nutrition on life-history trade-offs across species
Meeting Abstract S8-5 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:30 – 11:00 The effect of nutrition on life-history trade-offs across species SNELL-ROOD, EC*; SWANSON, EM; University of Minnesota; University of Minnesota emilies@umn.edu Nutrient availability affects both life-history traits and trade-offs: individuals reared on high quality diets tend to allocate more to a range of fitness-related traits, and trade-offs between such […]
Swimming kinematics and performance through early life history of fishes
Meeting Abstract S8-7 Saturday, Jan. 7 11:30 – 12:00 Swimming kinematics and performance through early life history of fishes HALE, M. E. *; HENDERSON, K. W. ; Univ. of Chicago; Univ. of Chicago mhale@uchicago.edu Swimming is a key component of many fundamental behaviors of fishes, including predator escape and prey capture. Research on swimming kinematics and performance […]
Predicting life-history trade-offs in whole-organism performance
Meeting Abstract S8-1 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:00 – 08:30 Predicting life-history trade-offs in whole-organism performance LAILVAUX, SP*; HUSAK, JF; University of New Orleans; University of St Thomas slailvaux@gmail.com http://www.fs.uno.edu/slailvau/index.html Whole-organism performance traits are key intermediaries between the organism and the environment. Because performance traits are energetically costly to both build and maintain, performance will compete with other […]
Life history phenotypes, metabolic performance and fitness in garter snakes with divergent life histories
Meeting Abstract S8-11 Saturday, Jan. 7 15:00 – 15:30 Life history phenotypes, metabolic performance and fitness in garter snakes with divergent life histories BRONIKOWSKI, Anne M.*; GANGLOFF, Eric J.; SCHWARTZ, Tonia S.; Iowa State University; Iowa State University; Auburn University abroniko@iastate.edu As a pace-setter for physiological processes, variation in metabolic rate can determine the shape of energetic […]
Does hormonal pleiotropy constrain the independent evolution of performance and life history traits A quantitative genetic approach
Meeting Abstract S8-8 Saturday, Jan. 7 13:30 – 14:00 Does hormonal pleiotropy constrain the independent evolution of performance and life history traits? A quantitative genetic approach. DANTZER, Ben*; SWANSON, Eli M; University of Michigan; University of Minnesota dantzer@umich.edu https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/dantzerlab/ The influence of a single hormone on expression of two or more performance or life history traits […]
Detecting Performance Trade-offs Using Multivariate Mixed Models
Meeting Abstract S8-10 Saturday, Jan. 7 14:30 – 15:00 Detecting Performance Trade-offs Using Multivariate Mixed Models CAREAU, V*; WILSON, R.S.; University of Ottawa; The University of Queensland vcareau@uottawa.ca All of us routinely experience performance trade-offs as we complete various tasks. For example, the faster we write, the more likely we are to make mistakes! Therefore, if we […]
