Meeting Abstract S6-2.3  Sunday, Jan. 6  Integrating stress physiology with quantitative evolutionary models to predict population responses to environmental change: An amphibian perspective CRESPI, Erica J.*; WARNE, Robin W.; LEDON-RETTIG, Cristina C.; Washington State University; Southern Illinois University; North Carolina State University erica.crespi@wsu.edu The allostatic load and reactive scope conceptual models provide a rubric for integrating neuroendocrine […]

Meeting Abstract S6-2.1  Sunday, Jan. 6  Behavioral responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) SIH, A.; University of California, Davis asih@ucdavis.edu A key issue in animal behaviour is the need to understand variation in behavioral responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (habitat loss, exotic species, pollution, human harvesting, and climate change). Why do some individuals exhibit maladaptive […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.6  Sunday, Jan. 6  Using physiology to predict ectotherm responses to environmental change DIAMOND, SE*; PELINI, SL; ELLISON, AM; GOTELLI, NJ; SANDERS, NJ; DUNN, RR; North Carolina State Univ.; Bowling Green State Univ.; Harvard Forest; Univ. of Vermont; Univ. of Tennessee; North Carolina State Univ. sarah_diamond@ncsu.edu Global changes in land-use and climate ensure that species […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.5  Sunday, Jan. 6  The role of the stress axis in coping with chronic uncertainty BOONSTRA, R.; University of Toronto Scarborough boonstra@utsc.utoronto.ca The adaptations animals have in the natural world are solutions to ecological problems to which they have a long evolutionary history. The stress axis is a vital regulator of that adaptation. Animals in […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.4  Sunday, Jan. 6  Mechanistic links between climate variability, stress, and population processes in seabirds KITAYSKY, AS; University of Alaska Fairbanks askitaysky@alaska.edu Climate change is likely to affect food web dynamics in marine ecosystems and thus availability of food to breeding seabirds. Consequences of food shortages for population dynamics of long-lived seabirds are not well […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.2  Sunday, Jan. 6  Integrating environmental signals for reproductive timing PERFITO, Nicole*; CALISI, Rebecca; HAU, Michaela; BENTLEY, George E.; Univ. of California, Berkeley; Univ. of California, Davis; Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Germany; Univ. of California, Berkeley nperfito@berkeley.edu Most animals are required to respond to a changing environment on a daily and seasonal basis to […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.3  Sunday, Jan. 6  Global climate change leads to natural selection on the physiological mechanisms underlying seasonal timing VISSER, M.E.*; SCHAPER, S.V.; CARO, S.P.; Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW); Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW); Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) m.visser@nioo.knaw.nl Animals need to use information from their environment, so called cues, to accurately time their […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.7  Sunday, Jan. 6  Constraints and the importance of adaptive plasticity to climate change SHELDON, B.C.; University of Oxford ben.sheldon@zoo.ox.ac.uk Phenotypic plasticity is regarded as a key mechanism by which populations adapt to changing climates, but we know little about the importance of plasticity for population persistence, or what limits the scope of adaptive plasticity. […]

Meeting Abstract S6-1.1  Sunday, Jan. 6  Allostasis, resilience and coping with a changing world WINGFIELD, JC; University of California, Davis jcwingfield@gmail.com A potentially serious outcome of global climate change is the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Additionally, environmental perturbations such as human disturbance, invasive species, social disruption and pollution indicate that bird populations […]
