Meeting Abstract 51.2  Monday, Jan. 5  A Mathematical Model of the Detection of Unsteady Flow Separation by Hairs on a Bat Wing DICKINSON, B. T.*; SWARTZ, S. M.; BATTEN, B. A.; Oregon State University dickinsb@onid.orst.edu Many animals use hair-like structures to detect flow fields. Bats fly at Reynolds numbers where flow is unsteady, so they must be […]

Loren; BARNES, Brian M.; O’BRIEN, Diane M.; Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks; Univ. of Alaska, Anchorage; Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks; Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks fttnl@uaf.edu Arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus parryii) are […]

Meeting Abstract 50.1  Monday, Jan. 5  Supercool social wasps: lower lethal limits to cold tolerance CORRIGAN, S.T.*; IRWIN, J.; Central Wash. Univ. corrigas@gmail.com Of the selective pressures that have shaped species evolutionary success or failure, the most universal abiotic factor, is probably temperature. In the higher latitudes the ability to survive cold temperatures may be the limiting […]

Meeting Abstract 50.4  Monday, Jan. 5  Skeletal muscle energetics following cold acclimation in a brown adipose tissue deficient mouse. MINEO, PM*; ROBERTS, ME; SCHAEFFER, PJ; Miami University; Miami University; Miami University mineopm@muohio.edu We are interested in muscle plasticity in response to cold challenge. To remove the influence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and non-shivering thermogenesis, we use […]

Meeting Abstract 50.5  Monday, Jan. 5  Expression and phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC in fed and fasted golden-mantled ground squirrels (GMGS) HEALY, Jessica E*; DIAZ, Yvonne; FLORANT, Gregory L; Colorado State University; New Mexico State University; Colorado State University jehealy@simla.colostate.edu The golden-mantled ground squirrel (GMGS) is a mammal that hibernates (hibernator) and has a robust annual cycle […]

Meeting Abstract 49.1  Monday, Jan. 5  Single origin of a lake-wide pigmentation locus in the rock-dwelling cichlids of Lake Malawi. ROBERTS, Reade B.*; KOCHER, Thomas D.; University of Maryland, College Park reade@umd.edu The phenotypic diversity present in the cichlid fishes of Lake Malawi is amazingly rich given the relatively short history in which it has evolved. Perhaps […]
