We then summarize experimental and ecological studies of how intertidal zone ecosystems and organisms respond to heat waves across dimensions of biotic response. Additional attention is paid to the impacts of extreme heat on cellular physiology...

MacManes ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between dietary fat and physiological responses is crucial in species adapted to arid environments where water scarcity is common. In this study, we present a comprehensive exploration of gene expression across five...

...Cory R. Elowe; Maria Stager; Alexander R. Gerson ABSTRACT In order to complete their energetically demanding journeys, migratory birds undergo a suite of physiological changes to prepare for long-duration endurance flight, including hyperphagia, fat deposition, reliance on fat as a fuel source...

...Danielle M. Blumstein; Matthew D. MacManes ABSTRACT Desert organisms have evolved physiological, biochemical and genomic mechanisms to survive the extreme aridity of desert environments. Studying desert-adapted species provides a unique opportunity to investigate the survival strategies employed...

These studies encompassed the great diversity of topics and approaches in neuroethology and involved a wide variety of animals native to South America. This meeting...

... canalization (a measure of robustness to environmental variation) of morphological and physiological traits is rarely considered. To test the sensitivity of morphological and physiological traits to environmental variation in two developmental stages, we manipulated brood size at hatch in European starlings...
