Population level differences in thermal sensitivity of energy assimilation
Meeting Abstract 87-3 Wednesday, Jan. 6 10:45 Population level differences in thermal sensitivity of energy assimilation. CLAY, T.A.*; GIFFORD, M.E.; Univ. of Arkansas at Little Rock; Univ. of Central Arkansas taclay@ualr.edu Previous work has shown that among species of terrestrial salamanders, thermal performance metrics are correlated with average environmental conditions. Species with large ranges usually encompass a […]
