Meeting Abstract 123-4  Thursday, Jan. 7 14:15  Physical and physiological costs of reproduction in watersnakes CHAMBERLAIN, JD*; GIFFORD, ME; University of Arkansas at Little Rock; University of Central Arkansas jdchamberlai@ualr.edu A key theory in life-history research predicts the existence of a trade-off between current and future reproductive success. Increases in the cost of each reproductive attempt theoretically […]

Meeting Abstract 123-2  Thursday, Jan. 7 13:45  Life-history trade-offs of lizards in response to drought ZANI, P.A.; Univ. Wisconsin–Stevens Point pzani@uwsp.edu Changing environmental conditions, such as drought, can impose life-history trade-offs on animal populations. Over the past several years, drought conditions have influenced the life history of side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana) in northern Nevada. Ongoing monitoring of […]

A comparative test with lizards REEDY, A.M.*; EVANS, W.J.; COX, R.M.; University of Virginia; University of Virginia; University of Virginia amr3mb@virginia.edu http://wideworldscience.blogspot.com Species with high annual reproductive effort tend to have low annual survival, whereas those with low reproductive effort have high survival. However, […]

Meeting Abstract 122-3  Thursday, Jan. 7 10:45  Twist and Flex: Locomotor Variation in Elongate Fishes DONATELLI, CM*; SUMMERS, AP; TYTELL, ED; Tufts University; University of Washington; Tufts University cassandra.donatelli@tufts.edu http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/labs/tytell/ Fish swim by passing a wave of motion from their heads, through the body, to the tail which produces thrust. In addition to the yaw motion of […]
