Cold and Exercise Training Produce Similar Increases in Maximal Metabolic Output in House Sparrows
Meeting Abstract 63.1 Sunday, Jan. 5 13:30 Cold and Exercise Training Produce Similar Increases in Maximal Metabolic Output in House Sparrows ZHANG, Y.*; SWANSON, D. L.; University of South Dakota; University of South Dakota yufeng.zhang@usd.edu Maximal metabolic output for both exercise and thermogenesis in birds presumably influence fitness through effects on flight and shivering performance. Because both […]
Thermal constraints on activity revisited Can spatially-explicit estimates of activity predict growth rates of ectotherms
Meeting Abstract 63.4 Tuesday, Jan. 6 08:45 Thermal constraints on activity revisited: Can spatially-explicit estimates of activity predict growth rates of ectotherms? SEARS, MW; Clemson University sears3@g.clemson.edu http://thermalecology.org As a null model, increased rates of activity should lead to increased rates of growth in ectotherms. A previous study in sagebrush lizards (Sceloporus graciosus) showed that, despite increasing […]
The best of both worlds radio tracking and thermal mimics show thermoregulation in intertidal snails
Meeting Abstract 63.6 Tuesday, Jan. 6 09:15 The best of both worlds: radio tracking and thermal mimics show thermoregulation in intertidal snails HAYFORD, H.A.*; CARRINGTON, E.; Friday Harbor Labs, Univ. of Washington; Friday Harbor Labs, Univ. of Washington hayford@uw.edu Behavior can ameliorate exposure to increasing environmental temperatures, yet the capacity of an organism to thermoregulate is often […]

Effects of winter rainfall and drought on body condition and reproduction in side-blotched lizards
Meeting Abstract 63.2 Tuesday, Jan. 6 08:15 Effects of winter rainfall and drought on body condition and reproduction in side-blotched lizards ZANI, P.A.*; Univ. of Wisconsin, Stevens Point pzani@uwsp.edu Winter rainfall has been implicated as a major determinant of desert lizard reproduction. Ongoing drought in the western United States provides an opportunity to observe the effects of […]
Consequences of climate variation across several trophic levels of ectotherms in a desert lizard community
Meeting Abstract 63.1 Tuesday, Jan. 6 08:00 Consequences of climate variation across several trophic levels of ectotherms in a desert lizard community ANDERSON, R.A.; Western Washington University Roger.Anderson@wwu.edu http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/rogera/ The among-year variation in means and extremes of rainfall and precipitation of deserts ecosystems are expected to cause predictable, among-year responses in production through several trophic levels of […]
