TODGHAM, A.E.*; FANGUE, N.A.; SCHULTE, P.M.; IWAMA, G.K.; University of British Columbia, Vancouver: Stress tolerance and the Hsp response of tidepool sculpins, Oligocottus maculosus, acclimatized to laboratory or field conditions In nature, a fish�s thermal history is important in structuring its cellular response to stress. The plastic nature of the Hsp response and its involvement […]

MARCACCIO, N.D.; SPECKER, J.L.; University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography; University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography: Stress in Summer Flounder: Anesthesia Mitigates Transportation-Induced Stress Response and Increases Post-Transport Performance A significant problem affecting the mariculture of summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus, is the incidence of post-transport epizootic, leading to significant delayed mortality. […]

RICHARDS, J.G.*; SCHULTE, P.M.; University of British Columbia, Vancouver; University of British Columbia, Vancouver: Metabolic acclimation to hypoxia in Fundulus heteroclitus Environmental hypoxia has profound effects on pathways involved in ATP production. During periods of acute hypoxia, ATP is primarily produced by �anaerobic� metabolism and there is a down regulation of aerobic metabolism. During acclimation […]

Myostatin negatively regulates […]

BUCKLEY, Bradley A.; GRACEY, Andrew Y.; SOMERO, George N.; Stanford University, Hopkins Marine Station; Stanford University, Hopkins Marine Station; Stanford University, Hopkins Marine Station: DNA microarray analysis of gene expression during heat stress in the eurythermal goby Gillichthys mirabilis Exposure to elevated but sub-lethal temperatures can have deleterious effects at the cellular level, including abnormal […]

IZEM, R*; MARRON, JS; KINGSOLVER, JG; UNC-Chapel Hill; UNC-Chapel Hill; UNC-Chapel Hill: Analyzing Variation in Thermal Performance Curves A thermal performance curve (TPC) represents the performance of an individual or genotype as a continuous function of temperature. Patterns of genetic variation in thermal performance curves and other continuous reaction norms are important for determining evolutionary […]

TOMANEK, Lars; Univ. of California, Davis: 2-DE comparison of the heat-shock protein complement in intertidal Tegula congeners. Species of the genus Tegula occupy widely varying thermal habitats along the transition from the sub- to the intertidal zone and show distinct biogeographic distribution ranges. Separation of proteins using 1D gel-electrophoresis has shown that these congeners vary […]

OWEN-ASHLEY, N. T.*; TURNER, M.; HAHN, T. P.; WINGFIELD, J. C.; Univ. of Washington, Seattle; Univ. of Washington, Seattle; Univ. of California, Davis; Univ. of Washington, Seattle: Hormonal, behavioral, and thermoregulatory consequences of lipopolysaccharide-induced sickness in the White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) Exposure to pathogens or inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activates the […]

ZYSLING, D.A.; GREIVES, T.J.; DEMAS, G.E.; KETTERSON, E.D.; Indiana University; Indiana University; Indiana University; Indiana University: Effects of Testosterone on Female Aggression and Immune Function: Possible Evidence of Intersexual Conflict in Dark-Eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) Intersexual conflict occurs when a trait that is beneficial to one sex is costly to the other. Conflict can be […]
