Meeting Abstract 47.3 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Emergence of group rationality from irrational individuals in ants SASAKI, T.*; PRATT, S. C.; School of Life Sciences Arizona State University; School of Life Sciences Arizona State University takao@asu.edu Evolutionary theory predicts that animal decision-makers should be rational, meaning that they consistently choose fitness-maximizing options. Despite this, violations of rationality have […]

Egg pigmentation varies with laying order and differs in populations at different latitudes
Meeting Abstract 47.4 Thursday, Jan. 5 Egg pigmentation varies with laying order and differs in populations at different latitudes ALDREDGE, R.A.*; SOCKMAN, K.W.; Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aldredge@live.unc.edu Development time can vary widely both within and among organisms. In birds the incubation period is shorter for open-cup […]
Climate, weather, and a long-lived seabird What can fifty years of data tell us
Meeting Abstract 47.1 Thursday, Jan. 5 Climate, weather, and a long-lived seabird: What can fifty years of data tell us? MAUCK, R.A.*; HUNTINGTON, C.E.; DOHERTY, JR., P.F.; Kenyon College; Bowdoin College; Colorado State University mauckr@kenyon.edu We used a 50-year individual-based data set to investigate the effect of weather and climate variation on reproductive success and survival in […]

Using functional genomics to characterize the physiological response of polar fishes to a multi-stressor scenario
Meeting Abstract 47.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Using functional genomics to characterize the physiological response of polar fishes to a multi-stressor scenario PLACE, S.P.; Univ. South Carolina places@mailbox.sc.edu Antarctic fishes of the suborder Notothenioidei have displayed incredibly narrow physiological limits in previous single stressor studies and may be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of global climate change. Given […]

Ocean acidification in the Northeast Pacific a genomics perspective
Meeting Abstract 47.2 Saturday, Jan. 5 Ocean acidification in the Northeast Pacific: a genomics perspective EVANS, T.G.*; HOFMANN, G.E.; California State University East Bay; University of California Santa Barbara tylergevans@gmail.com Ocean acidification (OA), the decline in seawater pH caused by the absorption of atmospheric CO2, has emerged as a global-scale consequence of anthropogenic activity. However, coastal zones […]
