Meeting Abstract 124.2  Tuesday, Jan. 7 13:45  Phylogeography and conservation genetics of troglobitic salamanders PHILLIPS, J.G.*; EMEL, S.L.; FENOLIO, D.B.; BONETT, R.M.; University of Tulsa; Washington State University; San Antonio Zoo; University of Tulsa john-phillips@utulsa.edu The biology of many cave-dwelling organisms (troglobites) are poorly known due to their cryptic lifestyles and habitat inaccessibility. Some widespread troglobites whose […]

How is dung beetle biology, resource competition and responses to environmental change currently being assessed

Meeting Abstract 124.3  Tuesday, Jan. 7 14:00  How is dung beetle biology, resource competition and responses to environmental change currently being assessed? ANDREW, N*; HEMMINGS, Z; University of New England nigel.andrew@une.edu.au The great challenges in predicting how biological organisms will respond to a rapidly changing climate is determining if responses of organisms are idiosyncratic, or whether there […]

Ecology and phylogenetic history as predictors of marine life history mode

Meeting Abstract 124.5  Tuesday, Jan. 7 14:30  Ecology and phylogenetic history as predictors of marine life history mode VON DASSOW, Y.J.*; SBROCCO, E.J.; MCCLAIN, C.R.; Duke University Marine Lab; National Evolutionary Synthesis Center; National Evolutionary Synthesis Center yasmin.vondassow@duke.edu Biogeographic patterns of marine organisms are largely a result of dispersal of early life stages. Because developmental mode directly […]
