Meeting Abstract 87-3 Wednesday, Jan. 6 10:45 Population level differences in thermal sensitivity of energy assimilation. CLAY, T.A.*; GIFFORD, M.E.; Univ. of Arkansas at Little Rock; Univ. of Central Arkansas taclay@ualr.edu Previous work has shown that among species of terrestrial salamanders, thermal performance metrics are correlated with average environmental conditions. Species with large ranges usually encompass a […]

The Time Course of Avian Physiological Adjustments to Cold Temperatures
Meeting Abstract 87-2 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:30 – 10:45 The Time Course of Avian Physiological Adjustments to Cold Temperatures STAGER, M*; CHEVIRON, ZA; University of Montana maria.stager@umontana.edu http://mariastager@weebly.com For birds resident to the North Temperate Zone, preparing for and surviving winter is considered one of the most difficult parts of the annual cycle. Previous work has documented […]
Some don’t like it hot Variation in stingless bee flight performance as a function of air temperature
Meeting Abstract 87-1 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:15 – 10:30 Some don’t like it hot: Variation in stingless bee flight performance as a function of air temperature DUELL, ME*; HARRISON , JF; Arizona State University meduell@asu.edu Environmental temperatures strongly affect the fitness of ectotherms, but these effects depend on body size. The “temperature-size rule” describes the pattern that […]
Seasonal Differences in Diapause Induction in a Vermont Population of Pieris rapae Butterflies
Meeting Abstract 87-4 Saturday, Jan. 7 11:00 – 11:15 Seasonal Differences in Diapause Induction in a Vermont Population of Pieris rapae Butterflies MIKUCKI, EE*; LOCKWOOD, BL; University of Vermont; University of Vermont emikucki@uvm.edu Organisms that encounter heterogeneous environments must perform under a wide range of conditions. For butterflies from temperate regions, distinct seasonal morphs adapt to specific […]
Molecular targets of thermal stress during early development in Drosophila melanogaster
Meeting Abstract 87-6 Saturday, Jan. 7 11:30 – 11:45 Molecular targets of thermal stress during early development in Drosophila melanogaster LOCKWOOD, BL*; GUPTA, T; University of Vermont Brent.Lockwood@uvm.edu http://www.uvm.edu/~bllockwo/ The effects of temperature on physiological processes are ubiquitous. However, to a large extent, the effects of thermal stress on developmental processes during early life stages have not […]
Diet-by-temperature interactions on a sexually selected trait and sexual dimorphism
Meeting Abstract 87-3 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:45 – 11:00 Diet-by-temperature interactions on a sexually selected trait and sexual dimorphism ALLEN, PE*; MILLER, CW; University of Florida, Gainesville; University of Florida, Gainesville pabloallen@ufl.edu Sexual dimorphism is often the result of condition-dependent expression of sexually selected traits, like animal weapons. Most commonly, larger males that developed under nutritionally rich […]
