Metabolic Rates and Movements of Male Tarantulas During the Breeding Season
Meeting Abstract 41.3 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Metabolic Rates and Movements of Male Tarantulas During the Breeding Season STOLTEY, T*; SHILLINGTON, C; Eastern Michigan University; Eastern Michigan University tstoltey@gmail.com Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) exhibit sexual dimorphism in their resting metabolic rate (RMR). The significantly higher RMRs observed in sexually mature males may be an adaptive strategy to support increased […]
Long-Term Studies of Field Metabolic Rate in Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) Annual Variation, Critical Factors, and Implications for Bioenergetic Studies
Meeting Abstract 41.2 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Long-Term Studies of Field Metabolic Rate in Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus): Annual Variation, Critical Factors, and Implications for Bioenergetic Studies. BEAUPRE, Steven J.; University of Arkansas, Fayetteville sbeaupre@uark.edu Mechanistic studies of bioenergetics are critical to developing a predictive understanding of organismal responses to environmental change. Field metabolic rate (FMR) integrates energetic […]
Background baselining A new approach to metabolic measurement
Meeting Abstract 41.1 Tuesday, Jan. 5 Background baselining: A new approach to metabolic measurement LIGHTON, JRB; Sable Systems International lighton@sablesys.com Because traditional respirometry measures metabolic rates as a function of the difference between incurrent and excurrent gas concentrations (usually air entering and leaving a sealed chamber or a mask), the accuracy with which small changes in gas […]
Evolution by genetic interaction at loci affecting shape or allometry
Meeting Abstract 41.1 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Evolution by genetic interaction at loci affecting shape or allometry PAVLICEV, M.*; CHEVERUD, J.M.; University of Oslo, Norway; Washington University, St. Louis, MO mihaela.pavlicev@bio.uio.no Genetic basis of shape or the allometric relationships between traits resides in the distribution of genetic variance for traits, and in the genetic correlations between them. The […]
Endless pigeons most beautiful and most wonderful
Meeting Abstract 41.2 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Endless pigeons most beautiful and most wonderful MULROY, E.; RECORD, D.; GUERNSEY, M.; STRINGHAM, S.A.; ALDENHOVEN, J.T.; OSBORNE, E.J.; SHAPIRO, M.D.**; Univ. of Utah shapiro@biology.utah.edu For thousands of years, humans have selected stunning morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits in the rock pigeon. This intensive selection regime has resulted in over 350 […]

Before and beyond congruence using phylogenetic homology to infer evolutionary process
Meeting Abstract 41.5 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Before and beyond congruence: using phylogenetic homology to infer evolutionary process BRAZEAU, MD; Museum fuer Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity martin.brazeau@gmail.com The homology concept has garnered a reputation for being elusive and problematic. This view has grown in light of advances in modern comparative developmental genetics (‘evo-devo’). […]
