Incorporating short-term temporal variability into model projections of performance and population dynamics
Meeting Abstract S9-3 Wednesday, Jan. 6 09:00 Incorporating short-term temporal variability into model projections of performance and population dynamics. VASSEUR, David A.; Yale University david.vasseur@yale.edu Over the past two decades ecological theoreticians have begun to incorporate environmental attributes such as temperature into the classical models that underpin a variety of ecological processes and systems. However, as […]
Impacts of climate variability and change on marine animals physiological underpinnings and evolutionary consequences
Meeting Abstract S9-1 Wednesday, Jan. 6 08:00 Impacts of climate variability and change on marine animals: physiological underpinnings and evolutionary consequences. POERTNER, Hans-O.; Alfred-Wegener-Institute hans.poertner@awi.de http://awi.de Understanding thermal ranges and limitations of organisms becomes important in light of climate change and observed effects on ecosystems as reported by the IPCC (Pörtner et al., IPCC 2014). This understanding […]
How extreme temperatures impact organisms and the evolution of their thermal tolerance
Meeting Abstract S9-8 Wednesday, Jan. 6 13:30 How extreme temperatures impact organisms and the evolution of their thermal tolerance BUCKLEY, L.B.*; HUEY, R.B.; Univ. of Washington, Seattle; Univ. of Washington, Seattle lbuckley@uw.edu http://faculty.washington.edu/lbuckley/ Understanding the biological impacts of extreme temperatures requires transducing meteorological estimates into organismal responses, but that transduction is complex. In general, the physiological stress […]

Estimating vector-borne disease transmission in a thermally variable environment
Meeting Abstract S9-2 Wednesday, Jan. 6 08:30 Estimating vector-borne disease transmission in a thermally variable environment MURDOCK, C.C.*; THOMAS, M.B.; University of Georgia; Pennsylvania State University cmurdock@uga.edu Several studies suggest the potential for climate change to increase malaria incidence in cooler, marginal transmission environments. However, the effect of increasing temperature in warmer regions where conditions currently support […]
