Evolution of the neurosensory system mediates gain and loss of phenotypic plasticity
Meeting Abstract 115-1 Thursday, Jan. 7 10:15 Evolution of the neurosensory system mediates gain and loss of phenotypic plasticity ADAMS, DK; Rutgers, the State Univ of New Jersey dadams@marine.rutgers.edu http://adams.marine.rutgers.edu/ Phenotypic plasticity has been heralded as an essential mechanism for surviving climate change and an important consideration in speciation. Since plasticity is likely to enable expansion and […]

The Influence of the Early-life Environment on Stress Physiology and Fitness in the Wild
Meeting Abstract 115-3 Sunday, Jan. 8 08:30 – 08:45 The Influence of the Early-life Environment on Stress Physiology and Fitness in the Wild NEWMAN, AEM; University of Guelph newman01@uoguelph.ca http://comparativephys.ca/newmanlab/ Early-life conditions can have profound and lasting effects on physiology and behaviour throughout an individual’s lifetime. For example, in captive songbirds, nutritional restriction or corticosterone treatment during […]
The (Non) Stressed Brain Local Metabolism Regulates Corticosterone Action in the Songbird CNS
Meeting Abstract 115-1 Sunday, Jan. 8 08:00 – 08:15 The (Non) Stressed Brain: Local Metabolism Regulates Corticosterone Action in the Songbird CNS RENSEL, MA*; DING, J; SCHLINGER, BA; Univ. of California, Los Angeles mrensel@ucla.edu Glucocorticoids (GCs) perform diverse regulatory actions in the body under baseline conditions and during stress. In the brain, GCs participate in negative feedback […]
