Meeting Abstract 66-4  Sunday, Jan. 5 14:15 – 14:30  Unravelling the reptilian thermoregulatory paradigm FRANKLIN, CE; The University of Queensland c.franklin@uq.edu.au The thermoregulatory paradigm for reptiles is that they maintain some control over body temperature behaviourally through basking, shuttling between cool and hot microclimates and via changes in posture and position. Coupled with these behaviours are physiological […]

Meeting Abstract 66-3  Sunday, Jan. 5 14:00 – 14:15  Sonoran desert bats show modest capacities for thermoregulation in the heat TALBOT, WA*; WOLF, BO; University of New Mexico; University of New Mexico wtalbot@unm.edu In the Sonoran Desert, the radiant heat from highly absorbent surfaces carries the extreme heat of the day well into the night and, with […]

Meeting Abstract 66-6  Sunday, Jan. 5 14:45 – 15:00  Integrated behavioral and physiological strategies allow Gryllus lineaticeps crickets to fly on cool nights SUN, B-J; HUEBNER, C; TREIDEL, LA; CLARK, R; ROBERTS, KT; WILLIAMS, CM*; Chinese Academy of Sciences; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Berkeley; Sienna College; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Berkeley […]

Meeting Abstract 66-2  Sunday, Jan. 5 13:45 – 14:00  Induced flow cools hovering bumble bees DILLON, ME*; PETRANEK, C; University of Wyoming Michael.Dillon@uwyo.edu http://dillonlab.org The advent of flight likely facilitated insect dominance of the terrestrial biosphere. In particular, rapid wing oscillations made possible by asynchronous flight muscle allow small insects to hover and maneuver in nearly all […]

Meeting Abstract 66-1  Sunday, Jan. 5 13:30 – 13:45  Feeling out your Food: A histological analysis of the vibrissal system in pinnipeds COOPER, C*; KEELING, E; LIWANAG, H; California Polytechnic State University Ccoope05@calpoly.edu The vibrissal (whisker) system is present in nearly all mammals and is especially important in deep-diving mammals. Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, walrus) have highly […]

Meeting Abstract 66-7  Sunday, Jan. 5 15:00 – 15:15  Comparative Thermal Ecology of Coastal and Inland Populations of Pacific Rattlesnake Crotalus oreganus CROWELL, HL*; TAYLOR, EN; University of Michigan; California Polytechnic State University hlcrowel@umich.edu Reptiles have become focal organisms for studying the direct effects of changing climates due to their reliance on environmental temperatures for physiological functions. […]

LANNOO, M.J.*; NANJAPPA, P.; BLACKBURN, L.M.: What Amphibian Malformations Tell Us About Causes Amphibian malformations in northern and eastern regions of North America have generated considerable attention from both the general public and the scientific community. Common malformations of ranid frogs collected by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency include missing limbs (ectromelia) and multiple limbs […]
