Probing mechanisms of coral acclimatization
Meeting Abstract 83-3 Saturday, Jan. 6 08:30 – 08:45 Probing mechanisms of coral acclimatization BAUMS, IB*; DEVLIN-DURANTE, M; Pennsylvania State University; Pennsylvania State University baums@psu.edu http://baumslab.org/ Acclimatization is a non-genetic process by which an individual organism heightens its stress tolerance after exposure to a stressor. Understanding mechanisms by which corals acclimatize is urgent given their large population […]

Mountaintop endemics and climate change is warming really a problem
Meeting Abstract 83-5 Sunday, Jan. 6 09:00 – 09:15 Mountaintop endemics and climate change: is warming really a problem? FARALLO, VR*; MUÑOZ, MM; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech vfarallo@gmail.com http://www.vincentfarallo.net Climate change is occurring worldwide, but the impacts of change are not predicted to be equal among organisms. For example, mountaintop endemics are expected to be particularly susceptible […]
