Meeting Abstract 35.5 Sunday, Jan. 5 09:00 Characterizing wave impact forces in the field JENSEN, MM*; DENNY, MW; Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University mmjensen@stanford.edu Wave-swept rocky shores are among the most physically stressful environments on the planet. Hydrodynamic forces produced by breaking waves can damage and dislodge organisms, complicate external fertilization, and ultimately influence the species composition […]

Biological implications of recent geographic convergence in daily and annual temperature cycles
Meeting Abstract 35.7 Monday, Jan. 5 09:15 Biological implications of recent geographic convergence in daily and annual temperature cycles DILLON, M.E.*; WANG, G.; University of Wyoming; Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology Michael.Dillon@uwyo.edu http://www.uwyo.edu/mdillon/ Warming mean temperatures have shifted distributions, altered phenology, and increased extinction risks of diverse organisms, and have impacted human agriculture and health. However, […]
Beyond the mean biological impacts of cryptic temperature change
Meeting Abstract 35.5 Monday, Jan. 5 08:45 Beyond the mean: biological impacts of cryptic temperature change SHELDON, K.S.*; DILLON, M.E.; University of Wyoming; University of Wyoming kimberlyssheldon@gmail.com Studies on the biotic impacts of climate warming have overwhelmingly focused on the potential impacts of shifts in mean temperatures. Though changes in mean temperatures correlate with shifts in, for […]
A global analysis of plasticity in the thermal tolerance of ectotherms
Meeting Abstract 35.6 Monday, Jan. 5 09:00 A global analysis of plasticity in the thermal tolerance of ectotherms GUNDERSON, AR*; STILLMAN, JH; San Francisco State University alexrgunderson@gmail.com Two broad (and non-mutually exclusive) hypotheses have been proposed to explain diversity in the plasticity of thermal physiology. The first is adaptive, and proposes that greater plasticity should evolve in […]
