Seasonal cues alter the temperature-size relationship in an ectotherm
Meeting Abstract 71.2 Thursday, Jan. 6 Seasonal cues alter the temperature-size relationship in an ectotherm CLEMMENSEN, S.F.*; CERVONI, G.E.; HAHN, D.A.; University of Tennessee, Knoxville; University of Florida; University of Florida sclemmen@utk.edu Developmental temperatures can have dramatic effects on body size in ectotherms. Most ectotherms decrease in size as temperature increases, the temperature-size rule, but some show […]
Effect of diet on membrane composition and CCO activity in the Eastern red spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens)
Meeting Abstract 71.4 Thursday, Jan. 6 Effect of diet on membrane composition and CCO activity in the Eastern red spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens) BERNER, N.J.; Sewanee: The University of the South nberner@sewanee.edu Eastern red spotted newts are active in the winter. Our previous work shows that they acclimate enzyme activity, metabolic rate, and membrane phospholipid fatty […]
Depth-specific fatty acid composition and temperature dependent thermal properties of the blubber of short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus)
Meeting Abstract 71.3 Thursday, Jan. 6 Depth-specific fatty acid composition and temperature dependent thermal properties of the blubber of short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) BAGGE, L.E.*; KOOPMAN, H.N; POKORNY, A.; MCLELLAN, W.A.; PABST, D.A.; Univ. of North Carolina Wilmington leb3576@uncw.edu Blubber, the specialized hypodermis of cetaceans, stores lipids and provides thermal insulation. Blubber is stratified across its […]
Daily and seasonal variation in markers of nutritional condition in black-capped chickadee effect of short term climate fluctuations
Meeting Abstract 71.5 Thursday, Jan. 6 Daily and seasonal variation in markers of nutritional condition in black-capped chickadee: effect of short term climate fluctuations MANDIN, Clément*; VÉZINA, François; Université du Québec à Rimouski; Université du Québec à Rimouski clement.mandin@uqar.qc.ca Resident passerine species wintering at high latitude must face relatively harsh climatic conditions during the cold season. Several […]
Why Marine Mollusks don’t require larvae for dispersal
Meeting Abstract 71.9 Friday, Jan. 6 Why Marine Mollusks don’t require larvae for dispersal HICKMAN, Carole S.; Univ. of California, Berkeley caroleh@berkeley.edu Dispersal modes in marine mollusks are linked classically to larval life history. Taxa that lack a planktonic larval stage and larvae that do not feed in the plankton allegedly lack exposure to currents and prolonged […]
Transplants of juvenile mussels show that thermal tolerance, alone, is unlikely to set the Atlantic southern range boundary of the northern blue mussel, Mytilus trossulus,
Meeting Abstract 71.8 Friday, Jan. 6 Transplants of juvenile mussels show that thermal tolerance, alone, is unlikely to set the Atlantic southern range boundary of the northern blue mussel, Mytilus trossulus, MCCARTNEY, MA*; YUND, PO; Univ. of North Carolina, Wilmington; University of New England mccartneym@uncw.edu Thermal tolerance limits and thermal optima for growth and reproduction undoubtedly play […]
Transoceanic migratory dispersal in young sea turtles the role of currents and geomagnetic navigation
Meeting Abstract 71.1 Friday, Jan. 6 Transoceanic migratory dispersal in young sea turtles: the role of currents and geomagnetic navigation PUTMAN, N.F.*; VERLEY, P.; SHAY, T.J.; LOHMANN, K.J.; North Carolina State University; IRD – Sete, France; UNC Chapel Hill; UNC Chapel Hill nathan.putman@gmail.com Upon hatching, young sea turtles immediately migrate offshore and into ocean gyre systems that […]
Offshore renewable energy structures as stepping stones for biogeographic change does larval vertical positioning hold the key
Meeting Abstract 71.3 Friday, Jan. 6 Offshore renewable energy structures as stepping stones for biogeographic change: does larval vertical positioning hold the key? MILLER, RG*; BURROWS, MT; FOX, CJ; INALL, ME; Scottish Association for Marine Science raeanne.miller@sams.ac.uk The construction of marine renewable energy devices will alter the availability of shallow water hard habitat around the UK. These […]
Is the southern range boundary of the northern blue mussel, Mytilus trossulus, determined by constraints on larval dispersal
Meeting Abstract 71.7 Friday, Jan. 6 Is the southern range boundary of the northern blue mussel, Mytilus trossulus, determined by constraints on larval dispersal? YUND, P.O.*; TILBURG, C.E.; MCCARTNEY, M.A.; University of New England; University of New England; University of North Carolina – Wilmington pyund@une.edu Constraints on larval dispersal can theoretically limit the range of marine invertebrates, […]
