Meeting Abstract P3.8 Friday, Jan. 6 Change in thermal refuge seeking behavior during development of Battus philenor larvae. NIELSEN, M.E.*; PAPAJ, D.R.; University of Arizona; University of Arizona nielsenm@email.arizona.edu Temperature is an often highly variable component of any organism’s environment, and such variation can strongly impact an organism’s physiology and thereby its fitness. Because of this, organisms […]

Cardiac performance and metabolism of an intertidal limpet under conditions of emersion and immersion
Meeting Abstract P3.14 Friday, Jan. 6 Cardiac performance and metabolism of an intertidal limpet under conditions of emersion and immersion BJELDE, B.E.*; TODGHAM, A.E.; San Francisco State University; San Francisco State University bbjelde@mail.sfsu.edu Species distribution and abundance are changing in the face of increasing temperature; however the physiological mechanisms underlying these shifts are not clear. Intertidal animals […]
Cardiac performance across temperature extremes in the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio
Meeting Abstract P3.18 Friday, Jan. 6 Cardiac performance across temperature extremes in the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. MIKA, Teresa L.*; REIBER, Carl L.; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; University of Nevada, Las Vegas mikat@unlv.nevada.edu Metabolic rate increases in poikilothermic animals exposed to increased temperature. The systems responsible for oxygen uptake and distribution must keep pace with this […]

Bite force limitation by the length-tension relationship of skeletal muscle in three cyprinid fish species
Meeting Abstract P3.102 Friday, Jan. 6 Bite force limitation by the length-tension relationship of skeletal muscle in three cyprinid fish species GIDMARK, NJ*; TARRANT, JC; KONOW, N; BRAINERD, EL; Brown University njg@brown.edu The force production of a muscle varies based on its instantaneous length; therefore jaw position, specifically jaw gape, should impact bite force. Such changes in […]
