Meeting Abstract 76-6 Wednesday, Jan. 6 09:15 Beyond lethality – costs of varying thermal resources under the perceived risk of predation RUSCH, T.W*; SEARS, M.W; ANGILLETTA, M.J; Arizona State University; Clemson University; Arizona State University trusch@asu.edu When resources become concentrated in space, the perceived risk of predation can prevent prey from accessing those resources. We studied both […]

Energetics of Migratory Bats during Stopover A Test of the Torpor-Assisted Migration Hypothesis
Meeting Abstract 76-6 Saturday, Jan. 7 09:15 – 09:30 Energetics of Migratory Bats during Stopover: A Test of the Torpor-Assisted Migration Hypothesis BALOUN, DE*; GUGLIELMO, CG; Univ. of Western Ontario; Univ. of Western Ontario dbaloun@uwo.ca The torpor-assisted migration hypothesis posits that migratory bats use torpor during daytime roosting to minimize refueling requirements and preserve fuel stores for […]

Do wild seabirds show senescence
Meeting Abstract 76-2 Saturday, Jan. 7 08:15 – 08:30 Do wild seabirds show senescence? ELLIOTT, KH; McGill University kyle.elliott@mcgill.ca The “rate of living” theory suggests a tradeoff between metabolism and survival and is supported by inverse correlations between metabolic rate and survival rates. Charadriiform seabirds are exceptions to this pattern because they live exceptionally long despite having […]

Testing an extended Posture Principle
Meeting Abstract 76-3 Saturday, Jan. 6 08:30 – 08:45 Testing an extended “Posture Principle” KVALHEIM, M D*; REVZEN, S ; University of Michigan; University of Michigan kvalheim@umich.edu http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~kvalheim/ The locomotion of many animal species, mammalian quadruped walking and cockroach running as examples, appears to be associated with a “posture principle”, wherein motion is restricted to a family […]
