Meeting Abstract 11.2 Saturday, Jan. 4 10:30 Thermal Ecology of Podarcis tiliguerta (Lacertidae) Across an Altitudinal Gradient MAYERL, C.J.*; VAN DAMME, R.; Clemson University, SC cmayerl@clemson.edu Most aspects of behavioral and physiological performance in lizards depend on body temperature (Tb). Environmental temperatures (Tes) are among the most important external factors influencing Tb in ectotherms. Elevation has a […]

The thermal environment modifies mitochondrial-nuclear effects on insect metabolic performance and plasticity
Meeting Abstract 11.5 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:15 The thermal environment modifies mitochondrial-nuclear effects on insect metabolic performance and plasticity MONTOOTH, KL*; HOEKSTRA, LA; SIDDIQ, MA; Indiana University, Bloomington; Indiana University, Bloomington; Indiana University, Bloomington montooth@indiana.edu Given that interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes underlie energetic performance in eukaryotes, we expect that the effects of many mitochondrial mutations […]

Genotype-by-environment interactions of demographic values in fluctuating thermal environments using Drosophila melanogaster
Meeting Abstract 11.6 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:30 Genotype-by-environment interactions of demographic values in fluctuating thermal environments using Drosophila melanogaster EGGE, AR*; ELLER, OC; MORGAN, TJ; Kansas State University; Kansas State University; Kansas State University aegge@ksu.edu Organisms often experience a wide range of temperatures in nature, exhibited by daily and seasonal fluctuations. Ectotherms are particularly susceptible to these […]
Climate variability may limit evolutionary adaptation to climate change in alpine butterflies
Meeting Abstract 11.7 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:45 Climate variability may limit evolutionary adaptation to climate change in alpine butterflies KINGSOLVER, JG*; BUCKLEY, LB; Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Univ. of Washington, Seattle jgking@bio.unc.edu Evolutionary potential will be important for the many alpine organisms with limited ability to track long-term climate change via movement. We integrate biophysical, […]

The balance between immune resistance and immune tolerance is dynamic and influenced by the environment
Meeting Abstract 10.3 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:30 The balance between immune resistance and immune tolerance is dynamic and influenced by the environment STAHLSCHMIDT, Z.R.*; ACKER, M.; KOVALKO, I.; ADAMO, S.A.; Georgia Southern University; Dalhousie University; Dalhousie University; Dalhousie University zstahlschmidt@georgiasouthern.edu Animal immune systems must adaptively balance immune resistance (ability to destroy pathogens) with immune tolerance (ability to […]
Selective cannibalism “Don’t eat me, I’m infectious”
Meeting Abstract 10.2 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:15 Selective cannibalism: “Don’t eat me, I’m infectious!” PULPITEL, T.J.*; SIMPSON, S.J.; PONTON, F; University of Sydney, N.S.W, Australia; University of Sydney, N.S.W, Australia; University of Sydney, N.S.W, Australia tamara.pulpitel@sydney.edu.au Uncovering the links between nutrition, cannibalism and locust migration has been a major step forward in developing a better understanding of […]
Parasite performance as indicator of host resistance in ecological studies
Meeting Abstract 10.5 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:00 Parasite performance as indicator of host resistance in ecological studies KRASNOV, B.R.*; KHOKHLOVA, I.S.; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev; Ben-Gurion University of the Negev krasnov@bgu.ac.il From ecological and evolutionary perspectives, host resistance is nothing other than loss of fitness in a parasite induced by a host. Consequently, ecoimmunological studies should […]
