New macrophysiological insights into old macroecological patterns energetic constraints on geographic range size in mammals
Meeting Abstract 66.1 Monday, Jan. 6 08:00 New macrophysiological insights into old macroecological patterns: energetic constraints on geographic range size in mammals AGOSTA, SJ*; BERNARDO, J; Virginia Commonwealth University; Texas A&M University sagosta@vcu.edu Geographic range size varies over 12 orders of magnitude in mammals. At macroecological scales, variation in range size is related to body size, which […]

FROST The red herring gene of insect cold tolerance
Meeting Abstract 66.5 Monday, Jan. 6 09:00 FROST: The red herring gene of insect cold tolerance? SINCLAIR, B.J.*; GRAETHER, S.P.; UDAKA, H.; Univ Western Ontario; Univ Guelph; Univ Western Ontario bsincla7@uwo.ca The gene FROST (Fst) is one of the most compelling candidates for a cold tolerance-related gene in Drosophila. Fst is upregulated in response to a brief […]
