Overwintering Spiders Physiological Responses to the Winter Season
Meeting Abstract 36-2 Friday, Jan. 4 13:45 – 14:00 Overwintering Spiders: Physiological Responses to the Winter Season POTTS, LJ*; TEETS, NM; Univ. of Kentucky lesliej.potts@gmail.com Winter provides many challenges for terrestrial arthropods. Low temperature, freeze-thaw cycles, precipitation and extreme weather events negatively impact the survival and fitness of these organisms. Most arthropods overwinter in a dormant diapause […]

Insect cold acclimation Underlying mechanisms and opportunities for extrapolation
Meeting Abstract 36-3 Friday, Jan. 4 14:00 – 14:15 Insect cold acclimation: Underlying mechanisms and opportunities for extrapolation SINCLAIR, BJ; Western U bsincla7@uwo.ca http://publish.uwo.ca/~bsincla7/ Most insects modify their thermal tolerance in response to environmental cues. We often simulate this in the laboratory with a variety of low temperature treatments, and use these to both draw inferences about […]

An Investigation of Cold-Induced Barrier Disruption in the Gut Epithelia of Locusta migratoria
Meeting Abstract 36-5 Friday, Jan. 4 14:30 – 14:45 An Investigation of Cold-Induced Barrier Disruption in the Gut Epithelia of Locusta migratoria BRZEZINSKI, K*; MACMILLAN, HA; Carleton University kaylenbrzezinski@cmail.carleton.ca Chill susceptible insects, like the migratory locust, often die due to an accumulation of injuries unrelated to freezing when exposed to low temperatures. These injuries, known as chilling […]
