Meeting Abstract S9.9  Friday, Jan. 7  Incorporating population variation in thermal niche properties into geographic range shift predictions ANGERT, AL*; SHETH, SN; Colorado State University; Colorado State University angert@mail.colostate.edu Determining how species’ geographic ranges are governed by current climates and are likely to change in response to rapid climatic change poses a major biological challenge. Geographic ranges […]

Meeting Abstract S9.4  Friday, Jan. 7  Genetics and the potential for adaptation to climate change GOMULKIEWICZ, R; Washington State University gomulki@wsu.edu This talk will consider the interplay of genetics, thermal performance, and demographic change in enabling and preventing populations from adapting to changing environments. The goal will be to combine theoretical results regarding the genetics of adaptation, […]

Meeting Abstract S9.3  Friday, Jan. 7  Can generalized models of thermoregulation predict responses of endotherms to climate change? BOYLES, J.G.*; SMIT, B.; MCKECHNIE, A.E.; University of Pretoria; University of Pretoria; University of Pretoria jgboyles@zoology.up.ac.za Several recent papers have considered thermoregulation in endotherms in an adaptive framework similar to that often applied to ectotherms. Empirical tests of the […]

Meeting Abstract S9.1-1  Tuesday, Jan. 7 08:00  The micro and macro of nutrients across biological scales WARNE, Robin; Southern Illinois University rwarne@siu.edu There is a great breadth of research exploring the importance of micro- and macronutrients in physiology, ecology and evolution. Here I provide a synthesis that details the integrated roles and profound affects that limiting nutrients […]

Meeting Abstract S9.2-1  Tuesday, Jan. 7 10:30  The Physiological Ecology of Nutrition: A Framework for Linking the Lab to the Field BEHMER, S. T.; Texas A&M University s-behmer@tamu.edu Feeding is a daily activity for most animals, and is fundamentally a nutrient collection exercise. Many animals display a strong ability to regulate their intake of key nutrients, but […]

Meeting Abstract S9.2-2  Tuesday, Jan. 7 11:00  THE FAT OF THE MATTER: HOW DIETARY FATTY ACID COMPOSITION AFFECTS ENERGY EXPENDITURE OF BIRDS DURING MIGRATION MCWILLIAMS, S.R.*; PIERCE, B; University of Rhode Island; Sacred Heart University srmcwilliams@uri.edu Fatty acid composition of fat stores affects exercise performance in a variety of vertebrates although few such studies focus on birds. […]

Meeting Abstract S9.1-2  Tuesday, Jan. 7 08:10  Stress, nutrient allocation and multivariate life history: from lab to field BOGGS, C.L.*; NIITEPOLD, K.; Univ. of South Carolina; Univ. of South Carolina boggscl@mailbox.sc.edu Both life history responses to nutritional stress and the mechanisms underlying those responses have been subject to intense study in recent years, in the context of […]

Meeting Abstract S9.3-4  Tuesday, Jan. 7 15:00  Scaling up the effects of Na from individual performance to ecosystem function KASPARI, Michael*; CLAY, Natalie; University of Oklahoma; University of Oklahoma mkaspari@ou.edu Of the twenty five or so elements required for life, sodium has a number of features of interest to ecologists. First, it is relatively unimportant for the […]
