The costs of current reproduction are not traded against maternal survival or subsequent reproductive performance in the Columbian Ground Squirrel
Meeting Abstract 53.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 The costs of current reproduction are not traded against maternal survival or subsequent reproductive performance in the Columbian Ground Squirrel SKIBIEL, A.L.; SPEAKMAN, J.; HOOD, W.R.*; Harvard University; University of Aberdeen; Auburn University wrhood@auburn.edu Life history evolution is contingent upon proximate and ultimate costs of reproductive effort. Allocating a greater amount […]
Osteohistological differences between marsupials and placental mammals reflect both growth rates and life history strategies
Meeting Abstract 53.4 Saturday, Jan. 5 Osteohistological differences between marsupials and placental mammals reflect both growth rates and life history strategies WERNING, S; Univ California, Berkeley swerning@berkeley.edu Bone microstructure is influenced by many factors, including body size, growth rate, and phylogeny. The literature acknowledges no great differences between marsupial and placental bone histology, leading some to infer […]

Developmental mode, poecilogony, and population structure of the pyramidellid snail Boonea impressa
Meeting Abstract 53.1 Saturday, Jan. 5 Developmental mode, poecilogony, and population structure of the pyramidellid snail Boonea impressa TEICHHOLTZ, P.J. ; University of Michigan pteich@umich.edu Poecilogony, the expression of more than one developmental mode in a single species, is usually not viewed as an evolutionarily stable strategy. Poecilogonous species are typically considered transitional states between discrete developmental […]
Regional comparisons of the effects of summer and winter low tide conditions on photosynthetic recovery in a high intertidal alga
Meeting Abstract 52.5 Saturday, Jan. 5 Regional comparisons of the effects of summer and winter low tide conditions on photosynthetic recovery in a high intertidal alga ELSBERRY, L.A.*; BURNAFORD, J.L.; California State University, Fullerton; California State University, Fullerton lelsberry@fullerton.edu Because the timing of low tides varies among locations along the US west coast, populations of a species […]

Estimating fecundity, spawning frequency, season length of temperate reef fish; a comparison of natural and artificial reefs
Meeting Abstract 52.1 Saturday, Jan. 5 Estimating fecundity, spawning frequency, season length of temperate reef fish; a comparison of natural and artificial reefs ADREANI, M.S.**; STEELE, M.A.; California State University, Northridge madreani@csun.edu The reproductive output of fishes is often used as a measure of the health and productivity of a given population. This measure may be of […]
