What influences thermal maxima in urban ants
Meeting Abstract 21-1 Friday, Jan. 4 10:00 – 10:15 What influences thermal maxima in urban ants? JOHNSON, D*; STAHLSCHMIDT, ZR; Univ. of the Pacific d_johnson23@u.pacific.edu Cities are rapidly expanding, and global warming is intensified in urban environments due to the urban heat island effect. Thus, urban animals may be particularly susceptible to climate change given their small […]
Thermal Acclimation Effects on Metabolic Performance in the Mexican Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum
Meeting Abstract 21-7 Friday, Jan. 4 11:30 – 11:45 Thermal Acclimation Effects on Metabolic Performance in the Mexican Axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum BRADY, SP*; RAFFEL, TR; Oakland University; Oakland University seanbrady@oakland.edu Within-season temperature variability is expected to increase as the climate continues to change, making it increasingly important to understand organism responses to sudden temperature shifts. According to […]
