Environmental Stress Proteomics of Blue Mussel (Genus Mytilus) Congeners

Meeting Abstract 46.4  Saturday, Jan. 5  Environmental Stress Proteomics of Blue Mussel (Genus Mytilus) Congeners TOMANEK, L; California Polytechnic State University ltomanek@calpoly.edu The warm-adapted Mediterranean blue mussel species Mytilus galloprovincialis invaded southern California during the last century and has since replaced the cold-adapted native M. trossulus from its southern range, possibly due to climate change. Furthermore, M. […]

Mid-winter temperatures, not Spring temperatures, predict breeding phenology and fecundity in the European starling

Meeting Abstract 45.1  Saturday, Jan. 5  Mid-winter temperatures, not Spring temperatures, predict breeding phenology and fecundity in the European starling WILLIAMS, T.D.; Simon Fraser Uni. tdwillia@sfu.ca The current working model for control of timing of breeding suggests that day length provides reliable ‘initial predictive information’ for general seasonal breeding but that ‘supplemental factors’, especially ambient temperature (Ta), […]
