George Gilchrist — the Drosophila years
SOCIETY FOR INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY 2021 VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING (VAM)January 3 – Febuary 28, 2021 Meeting Abstract 61-14 Sat Feb 27 14:30 – 14:45 George Gilchrist — the Drosophila” years Huey, RB; University of Washington, Seattle hueyrb@uw.edu George Gilchrist started out in behavioral ecology of butterflies, but soon switched to thermal biology and evolution. We began […]

The Karasov effect functional studies of nutrient absorption in endotherms at the extreme
Meeting Abstract 61-4 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:15 – 14:30 The Karasov effect: functional studies of nutrient absorption in endotherms at the extreme MCWHORTER, TJ; University of Adelaide todd.mcwhorter@adelaide.edu.au The capacity of animals to assimilate energy depends on both mechanisms of nutrient absorption and gastrointestinal morphology. Flying vertebrates must fuel high metabolic demands while minimizing mass of digesta […]

Mechanisms of detoxification in herbivorous mammals
Meeting Abstract 61-5 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:30 – 14:45 Mechanisms of detoxification in herbivorous mammals DEARING, MD; University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah denise.dearing@utah.edu http://dearing.biology.utah.edu/lab/index.html Herbivores are confronted with potentially toxic diets at every meal, and therefore, must employ physiological, microbial or behavioral processes to circumvent dietary toxicity. This presentation reviews our physiological and behavioral work […]

Deer Mouse Lungs as Flexible Environmental Interfaces
Meeting Abstract 61-1 Sunday, Jan. 5 13:30 – 13:45 Deer Mouse Lungs as Flexible Environmental Interfaces HAMMOND, KA*; DOLAN, JE; SAWAYA, M; University of California Riverside; University of California Riverside; University of California Riverside khammond@ucr.edu Because of the flexible and fast growing tissues in their digestive tracts, many animal species are able to respond to increases in […]
Plasticity in Limb Muscle Function During Locomotion
Gillis, G.B.*; Biewener, A.A.: Plasticity in Limb Muscle Function During Locomotion Studies of musculoskeletal function in vivo during vertebrate locomotion have typically focused on muscles performing a specific role over a limited range of activities. As a result we currently have little appreciation for the breadth of function some muscles might exhibit over a broader […]
