Wild and captive vertebrates face multiple stressors that all have the potential to induce
chronic maternal stress (ie, sustained, elevated plasma glucocorticoids), resulting in embryo …

Fish nursery habitats are increasingly hypoxic and the brain is recognized as highly hypoxia
sensitive, yet there is a lack of information on the effects of hypoxia on the development and …

Environmental stressors, such as warm temperatures and hypoxia, can interact and pose a
