However, there is little […]

Interpreting baseline corticosteroid measures are they useful predictors of fitness
Meeting Abstract 9.11 Sunday, Jan. 4 Interpreting baseline corticosteroid measures: are they useful predictors of fitness? BONIER, F.*; MARTIN, P.R.; MOORE, I.T.; ROBERTSON, R.J.; WINGFIELD, J.C.; Queen’s University; Queen’s University; Virginia Tech; Queen’s University; University of California, Davis bonierf@queensu.ca Baseline corticosteroid (cort) measures are routinely used to infer an individual’s stress level. The term stress has ambiguous […]

Glucocorticoid physiology during incubation fasts in Laysan Albatross
Meeting Abstract 9.3 Sunday, Jan. 4 Glucocorticoid physiology during incubation fasts in Laysan Albatross SPRAGUE, R.S.**; SPRAGUE, J.C.; BREUNER, C.W.; University of Montana, Missoula; University of Montana, Missoula; University of Montana, Missoula rachel.sprague@umontana.edu Laysan Albatross undergo repeated 2-3 week fasts throughout incubation, during which they can drop 25% of their body mass. It is known that during […]
Effects of brood size on chick-feeding rates, growth and corticosterone in nestling tree swallows
Meeting Abstract 9.8 Sunday, Jan. 4 Effects of brood size on chick-feeding rates, growth and corticosterone in nestling tree swallows PARSONS, RL*; VLECK, CM; Iowa State Univ., Ames bparsons@iastate.edu Studies in birds have found that poor nutrition during development can cause reduced growth and elevated corticosterone (CORT) levels in chicks that have long-term negative effects on fitness […]
Divergent Response of the Innate Immune System to Acute Stress in Male and Female Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater)
Meeting Abstract 9.9 Sunday, Jan. 4 Divergent Response of the Innate Immune System to Acute Stress in Male and Female Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) MERRILL, L.*; ROTHSTEIN, S.I.; O’LOGHLEN, A.; Univ. of California, Santa Barbara lmerrill@lifesci.ucsb.edu Researchers have found substantial evidence linking stress and immunosuppression in numerous animals. There are few studies, however, documenting the duration and […]

Meeting Abstract 9.4 Sunday, Jan. 4 Brood value affects the endocrine response of a wild teleost fish to a standard stressor during parental care O’CONNOR, Constance/M*; YICK, Claire/Y; GILMOUR, Kathleen/M; VAN DER KRAAK, Glen; COOKE, Steven/J; Carleton University, Ottawa; Carleton University, Ottawa; University of Ottawa, Ottawa; University of Guelph, Guelph; Carleton University, Ottawa coconno4@connect.carleton.ca For animals with […]
A ‘Good’ Stress Response Searching for relationships between the acute glucocorticoid response and fitness
Meeting Abstract 9.1 Sunday, Jan. 4 A ‘Good’ Stress Response? Searching for relationships between the acute glucocorticoid response and fitness BREUNER, CW*; PATTERSON, SH; HAHN, TP; The University of Montana; The University of Montana; University of California at Davis creagh.breuner@umontana.edu The assumption that the acute response to stress is adaptive is pervasive in the literature, but there […]
The macroecology of rapid adaptive radiation
Meeting Abstract 9.6 Monday, Jan. 4 The macroecology of rapid adaptive radiation PARNELL, N F*; STREELMAN, J T; Georgia Tech gth877n@mail.gatech.edu A long-standing topic in ecology addresses whether natural communities are the result of stochastic factors or if assembly rules generate community structure. Non-random communities have been attributed to species interactions and more specifically competition – a […]
