Toward a spatially-explicit thermal ecology predicting activity from the dispersal of individuals through thermally-structured landscapes
Meeting Abstract 24.1 Friday, Jan. 4 Toward a spatially-explicit thermal ecology: predicting activity from the dispersal of individuals through thermally-structured landscapes SEARS, MW; Clemson sears3@clemson.edu An ongoing challenge for ecologists is to predict the responses of organisms to changing climates. Process-based modeling approaches that incorporate physiological and behavioral mechanisms are rapidly becoming powerful tools to make such […]

Meeting Abstract 24.6 Friday, Jan. 4 Problem and solution: Multiplexing distorts metabolic data LIGHTON, JRB*; FOERSTER, TD; KAIYALA, KJ; WISSE, B; Sable Systems International; Sable Systems International; University of Washington; University of Washington lighton@sablesys.com When measuring the metabolic rates of multiple animals, it is common practice to sample excurrent air from each cage or chamber, and direct […]
Plant quality is more than just nutrients host plant choice is determined by temperature and nutrients
Meeting Abstract 24.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Plant quality is more than just nutrients: host plant choice is determined by temperature and nutrients. CLISSOLD, F.J.*; SIMPSON, S.J.; The Univ. of Sydney, Australia; The Univ. of Sydney, Australia fiona.clissold@sydney.edu.au Temperature and nutrition interact to affect the life histories of ectotherms. These interactions are generally believed to be mediated via […]

Respiratory vapor sampling for endocrine studies of free-swimming baleen whales
Meeting Abstract 23.4 Friday, Jan. 4 Respiratory vapor sampling for endocrine studies of free-swimming baleen whales HUNT, K.E.*; ROLLAND, R.; KRAUS, S.; New England Aquarium, Boston MA; New England Aquarium, Boston MA; New England Aquarium, Boston MA tweedoo@gmail.com Physiological studies of baleen whales have been severely hampered by the inability to capture and sample living animals. Recent […]
Interspecific brood parasitism prolongs parental care and increases the stress response in a tropical songbird
Meeting Abstract 23.6 Friday, Jan. 4 Interspecific brood parasitism prolongs parental care and increases the stress response in a tropical songbird MARK, MM*; RUBENSTEIN, DR; Columbia University; Columbia University mark.melissa@gmail.com Interspecific brood parasitism in birds negatively affects parental fitness by reducing current reproductive success, but its impact on future reproduction has been rarely tested. Glucocorticoid stress hormones […]
