Meeting Abstract 24.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Plant quality is more than just nutrients: host plant choice is determined by temperature and nutrients. CLISSOLD, F.J.*; SIMPSON, S.J.; The Univ. of Sydney, Australia; The Univ. of Sydney, Australia fiona.clissold@sydney.edu.au Temperature and nutrition interact to affect the life histories of ectotherms. These interactions are generally believed to be mediated via […]

Meta-analytical evaluation of the Cort-Fitness Hypothesis
Meeting Abstract 24.1 Sunday, Jan. 4 13:30 Meta-analytical evaluation of the Cort-Fitness Hypothesis BARRON, DG*; CRESPI, EJ; SCHWABL, H; Univ. of South Florida; Washington State Univ.; Washington State Univ. douglasgbarron@gmail.com Ecologists frequently use baseline circulating corticosterone (CORT) concentrations as a physiological indicator of the state of wild animals. This reasoning is dependent upon the prevalent, yet unresolved, […]
