Darwin in a nutshell – the subtle intracapsular survival of the fittest in the common whelk Buccinum undatum
Meeting Abstract 26.3 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Darwin in a nutshell – the subtle intracapsular survival of the fittest in the common whelk Buccinum undatum SMITH, K E*; THATJE, S; University of Southampton; University of Southampton Kathryn.Smith@noc.soton.ac.uk Life history theories suggest parental fitness is maximised by investing equally into all offspring. The common whelk Buccinum undatum shows large […]
Testing common models of temperature-dependent activity implications for predicting responses to climate change
Meeting Abstract 26.4 Friday, Jan. 4 Testing common models of temperature-dependent activity: implications for predicting responses to climate change. GUNDERSON, A.R.; Duke University arg12@duke.edu Understanding behavioral responses to thermal variation is crucial for our attempts to predict the biological impacts of climate change. Several models have been proposed to explain the temperature-dependence of activity, usually with reference […]
Ocean acidification impairs olfaction and elevates respiration in deep sea hermit crabs, with high variation between individuals
Meeting Abstract 26.3 Friday, Jan. 4 Ocean acidification impairs olfaction and elevates respiration in deep sea hermit crabs, with high variation between individuals KIM, TW*; TAYLOR, J; LOVERA, C; BARRY, JP; Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institue ktwon@mbari.org Future ocean pH is projected to drop considerably at all depths as surface water continues to absorb rising levels of […]

Food limited butterflies Resting and flight metabolic rate, fecundity and longevity
Meeting Abstract 26.1 Friday, Jan. 4 Food limited butterflies �” Resting and flight metabolic rate, fecundity and longevity NIITEPOLD, K*; PEREZ, A; BOGGS, CL; Stanford University niitepold@stanford.edu Deciding how much to invest in survival and reproduction is fundamental for all organisms, especially when the available resource pool is limited. Resource availability can be affected by small-scale disturbances […]
Comparative Effects of Adult Food Limitation on Butterfly Life Histories
Meeting Abstract 26.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Comparative Effects of Adult Food Limitation on Butterfly Life Histories BOGGS, C.L.*; NIITEPOLD, K.; PEREZ, A.; Stanford University; Stanford University; Stanford University cboggs@stanford.edu Change in resource allocation patterns in response to variation in food acquisition provides a mechanistic basis for understanding observed life history responses to variation in food availability. Organisms […]
