Meeting Abstract 63.10  Wednesday, Jan. 6  Using time-series data to partition evolutionary and plastic responses to climate change in Pacific salmon: a case study of the historical shift in run-timing in Columbia River sockeye salmon CROZIER, Lisa G.; NWFSC, NOAA-Fisheries Lisa.Crozier@noaa.gov Salmon are highly adaptable and behaviorally complex, and they are responding actively to climate change. Sockeye […]

The role of nest architecture as a mechanism of disease resistance in termite species with different nesting strategies

Meeting Abstract 63.2  Wednesday, Jan. 6  The role of nest architecture as a mechanism of disease resistance in termite species with different nesting strategies POSTAVA-DAVIGNON, Marielle A.*; ROSENGAUS, Rebeca B.; Northeastern University; Northeastern University postava-davig.m@husky.neu.edu Homeostatic nests are a ubiquitous characteristic of termites. Nest building behavior can be unique to species, with some being identifiable by their […]

Mechanism of an inducible morphological defense active physiological response or behavioral by-product

Meeting Abstract 63.3  Wednesday, Jan. 6  Mechanism of an inducible morphological defense: active physiological response or behavioral by-product? BOURDEAU, PE; Michigan State University bourdea7@msu.edu Many organisms have evolved inducible defenses in response to spatial and temporal variability in the risk of predation. These defenses are assumed to be costly, but few studies have investigated the mechanisms and […]
