Physiological insights into ocean acidification and resilience from an estuarine-dependent teleost
Meeting Abstract 89-1 Saturday, Jan. 7 10:15 – 10:30 Physiological insights into ocean acidification and resilience from an estuarine-dependent teleost ESBAUGH, AJ; University of Texas at Austin, Marine Science Institute a.esbaugh@austin.utexas.edu Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are resulting in dramatic changes to oceanic carbonate chemistry, collectively known as ocean acidification (OA). The effects of OA are hypothesized […]
Osmoregulatory plasticity during hypersalinity acclimation in a euryhaline teleost
Meeting Abstract 89-4 Saturday, Jan. 7 11:00 – 11:15 Osmoregulatory plasticity during hypersalinity acclimation in a euryhaline teleost MARTIN, LM*; ESBAUGH, AJ; The University of Texas at Austin; The University of Texas at Austin leighann.martin@utexas.edu Prolonged drought and diversion of freshwater inflow into estuaries are making periods of hypersalinity more common in coastal systems. This is especially […]

Glucocorticoid response of ornate box turtles to extreme temperature exposure
Meeting Abstract 89-5 Saturday, Jan. 6 11:15 – 11:30 Glucocorticoid response of ornate box turtles to extreme temperature exposure. NEYER, AA*; BACHMAN, GC; University of Nebraska-Lincoln neyeraa@gmail.com Vertebrate animals respond to environmental stressors by secreting glucocorticoid hormones which help mobilize energy to support physiological processes and behaviors important for immediate survival. Ectotherms rely on environmental temperatures to […]
