Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Persistency of organic chemicals is a key property in their environmental risk assessment.
Information on persistency is often derived from the results of biodegradability screening …

Hypoxia survival requires a well-coordinated response to either secure more O 2 from the
depleted environment or to defend against the metabolic consequences of too little O 2 at …

Recent advances in molecular biology and the use of DNA microarrays for gene expression
profiling are providing new insights into the animal stress response, particularly the effects of …

The genomics revolution has expanded from its origins in molecular biology to impact upon
every discipline in the life sciences, including ecology. Several lines of ecological research …

Debate surrounding the integration of phenotypic plasticity within the neo-Darwinian
paradigm has recently intensified, but is largely dominated by conceptual abstractions …

The generation of multiple transcripts by mRNA processing has the potential to moderate
differences in gene expression both between tissues and at different stages of development …

We investigated the metabolic and cellular stress responses in an endemic catfish
Horabagrus brachysoma acclimated to ambient (26° C), 31, 33 and 36° C for 30 days. After …

Inflammatory stimuli elicit liver synthesis and subsequent release into the plasma of several
proteins (positive acute phase proteins, APP) with functions in innate immunity, tissue repair …

The use and importance of reintroduction as a conservation tool to return a species to its
historical range from which it has been extirpated will increase as climate change and …
