Deciding when to hatch Predator and embryo cues in wasp-induced hatching of red-eyed treefrogs
Meeting Abstract 1.5 Sunday, Jan. 4 Deciding when to hatch: Predator and embryo cues in wasp-induced hatching of red-eyed treefrogs HUGHEY, M.C.*; ROGGE, J.R.; WARKENTIN, K.M.; Boston University, Boston; Boston University, Boston; Boston University, Boston mchughey@bu.edu Predator-induced hatching allows embryos to avoid predation, but to be effective embryos must accurately assess and respond to threats. Red-eyed treefrog […]

A physiological basis for island tameness
Meeting Abstract 1.3 Sunday, Jan. 4 A physiological basis for island tameness VITOUSEK, Maren N.*; TARLOW, Elisa; WIKELSKI, Martin; University of Colorado, Boulder vitousek@colorado.edu Island tameness is a widely documented phenomenon in which island species, particularly those that have been isolated for much of their evolutionary history, show a greatly reduced behavioral response to novel predators. This […]
