Are means meaningless when using anti-Müllerian hormone to predict mating outcomes in old females
Meeting Abstract 18.3 Sunday, Jan. 4 10:45 Are means meaningless when using anti-Müllerian hormone to predict mating outcomes in old females? PLACE, NJ*; ROOSA, KA; ZYSLING, DA; Cornell University njp27@cornell.edu We measured serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations in 9-month-old female Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) to determine if this biomarker of reproductive age can forecast which females would […]
The effects of temperature and density on the fitness and behavioral choices of flies
Meeting Abstract 18-1 Monday, Jan. 4 10:15 The effects of temperature and density on the fitness and behavioral choices of flies BORCHERT, JD*; ANGILLETTA, MA; Arizona State University; Arizona State University jdborche@asu.edu The current theory of thermoregulation does not adequately predict how organisms thermoregulate in nature. One reason the theory fails is because it does not account […]
