Boryana Koseva and Stephen Quinn will present: “Energy allocation in a generalist predator, Neordia sipedon” Abstract: The energy available to an organism to do work is allocated to competing physiological functions based on the organism’s life history and its environment. The successful allocation of energy determines the lifetime reproductive success of an organism (i.e. its […]
