Huddling reduces evaporative water loss but not metabolic rate in torpid bats
Meeting Abstract 113.3 Tuesday, Jan. 7 11:00 Huddling reduces evaporative water loss but not metabolic rate in torpid bats BORATYNSKI, J.S.; WILLIS, C.K.R.; JEFIMOW, M.; WOJCIECHOWSKI, M.S.*; Nicolaus Copernicus Univ., Torun, Poland; Univ. of Winnipeg; Nicolaus Copernicus Univ., Torun, Poland; Nicolaus Copernicus Univ., Torun, Poland mwojc@umk.pl Huddling is thought to reduce thermoregulatory energy expenditure in normothermic mammals […]
Glucose, fructose, and sucrose use in hovering hummingbirds
Meeting Abstract 113.5 Tuesday, Jan. 7 11:30 Glucose, fructose, and sucrose use in hovering hummingbirds WELCH, KC*; CHEN, CCW; University of Toronto Scarborough; University of Toronto Scarborough kwelch@utsc.utoronto.ca Hummingbirds have specialized on a diet consisting almost exclusively of a mixture of sucrose, glucose and fructose found in floral nectar. Previous studies have shown that hummingbirds can fuel […]
Climate change impacts for desert birds High temperature and thermoregulation in non-passerine desert granivores
Meeting Abstract 113.2 Tuesday, Jan. 7 10:45 Climate change impacts for desert birds: High temperature and thermoregulation in non-passerine desert granivores SMITH, E.K.*; O’NEILL, J.; WOLF, B.O.; University of New Mexico ericksmith2@yahoo.com During the summers of 2012 and 2013 we captured White-winged Doves (WWDO) and Gambel’s Quail (GAQU) near Tucson, AZ, USA. Using flow-through respirometry we measured […]

High Temperature Environment Drives Cascading Fitness Effects Through Multi-party Reef Coral Mutualism
Meeting Abstract 113.5 Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:30 High Temperature Environment Drives Cascading Fitness Effects Through Multi-party Reef Coral Mutualism MCKEON, S*; OLIVER, T; Smithsonian Marine Station; University of Hawaii mckeons@si.edu Reef corals are symbiotic assemblages that can derive up to 95% of their carbon demands from endosymbiotic dinoflagellates in the ‘genus’ Symbiodinium. The coral-algal symbiosis also relies […]

Meeting Abstract 113.1 Wednesday, Jan. 7 13:30 Consequences of Hyperthermal Stress on Coral Larvae Undergoing Symbiont Colonization KITCHEN, S*; SHINZATO, C; HARII, S; SATOH, N; WEIS, V; Oregon State University; Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology; University of Ryukyus, Tropical Biosphere Research Center; Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology; Oregon State University kitchens@science.oregonstate.edu Climate change threatens the […]
Cellular Mechanisms of Cnidarian Bleaching
Meeting Abstract 113.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:00 Cellular Mechanisms of Cnidarian Bleaching BIERI, T.*; PRINGLE, J.R.; Stanford University tamakib@stanford.edu Several possible mechanisms of bleaching (loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates) have been reported in corals and sea anemones. These include in situ degradation of algal cells, exocytosis of algal cells, detachment of host cells containing algae, and death of […]
