Cross-tolerance and cross-talk in the cold relationships between low temperature and other stressors in insects

Meeting Abstract S9-1.1  Monday, Jan. 7  Cross-tolerance and cross-talk in the cold: relationships between low temperature and other stressors in insects SINCLAIR, BJ*; MACMILLAN, HA; FERGUSON, LV; SALEHIPOUR, G; University of Western Ontario bsincla7@uwo.ca Insects are the most successful group of terrestrial animals, having overcome the challenges of variable temperatures and desiccating conditions. Overwintering temperate, polar and […]

Body temperatures along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients interactions between phenotypes and multiple environmental stressors

Meeting Abstract S9-1.3  Monday, Jan. 7  Body temperatures along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients: interactions between phenotypes and multiple environmental stressors BUCKLEY, Lauren B.; Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill buckley@bio.unc.edu The divergence between body and air temperatures is central to patterns of thermal stress associated with climate change. We use biophysical models to estimate body temperatures as […]
