Global dimming or warming the effect of light radiation and temperature variability on the invasion of fouling species
Meeting Abstract 36.5 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Global dimming or warming: the effect of light radiation and temperature variability on the invasion of fouling species KIM, Taewon*; MICHELI, Fiorenza; Stanford University; Stanford University ktwon@stanford.edu Climate change can alter the community structure as species which have adapted to the changed climate can compete better with other species. It can […]
Climate change increases the likelihood of catastrophic avian mortality events during extreme heat waves
Meeting Abstract 36.4 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Climate change increases the likelihood of catastrophic avian mortality events during extreme heat waves WOLF, BO*; MCKECHNIE, AE; Univ. of New Mexico, Albuquerque; Univ. of Pretoria, Pretoria wolf@unm.edu Predicting how human-induced climate change will affect animal distribution, abundance and diversity requires an understanding of the mechanisms underlying both the direct and […]
Climate change and species interactions predicting indirect effects
Meeting Abstract 36.2 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Climate change and species interactions: predicting indirect effects GILMAN, Sarah; Friday Harbor Laboratories, University of Washington sgilman@jsd.claremont.edu Average global temperatures are expected to warm by 1.4-5.8C over the next century. Although the direct effects of temperature on individual performance are well-documents for many species, less well understood is how these direct […]
Climate Change Perturbs Activity Patterns, Social Structure and Population Dynamics of the Lizard Urosaurus ornatus
Meeting Abstract 36.6 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Climate Change Perturbs Activity Patterns, Social Structure and Population Dynamics of the Lizard Urosaurus ornatus. MILES, D B; Ohio University dmiles2@ohio.edu Climatic patterns in the arid southwest are characterized by cycles of normal or wet years interspersed by episodes of drought. One signature of global climate change in the southwest is […]

The diverse roles of larval musculature and microfilaments during the initial stages of metamorphosis of marine bryozoans
Meeting Abstract 36.5 Wednesday, Jan. 5 The diverse roles of larval musculature and microfilaments during the initial stages of metamorphosis of marine bryozoans. SANTAGATA, S.; Long Island University scott.santagata@liu.edu Marine bryozoan larval forms are noted for their rapid morphogenetic movements at metamorphosis. Previous work has documented the roles of ciliary motility, larval musculature, and dynamic bands of […]
Pattern of Variation during the Phylotypic Stage of Zebra Fish, Danio rerio
Meeting Abstract 36.3 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Pattern of Variation during the Phylotypic Stage of Zebra Fish, Danio rerio. SCHMIDT, Kai*; STARCK, J. Matthias; Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (LMU); Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (LMU) kaiusch@aol.com All vertebrate embryos pass through a period of morphological similarity, i.e., the phylotypic stage (PS). Possible causes of such similarity are […]

Meeting Abstract 36.1 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Evolution of the annelid body plan: developmental insights from the unsegmented sipunculan worm Themiste lageniformis SEAVER, Elaine C.*; BOYLE, Michael J.; MEYER, Neva P.; University of Hawaii; Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce; University of Hawaii seaver@hawaii.edu Sipuncula are a monophyletic group of coelomate marine worms. A growing number of molecular […]
Bacterial genes and larval settlement of the tube worm Hydroides elegans
Meeting Abstract 36.4 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Bacterial genes and larval settlement of the tube worm Hydroides elegans HUANG, Ying*; HADFIELD, Michael; University of Hawaii, Manoa yinghuan@hawaii.edu Competent larvae of the marine tube worm Hydroides elegans can be induced to metamorphose by both single- and multi-species bacterial biofilms. In a biofilm, the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea strongly induces […]
