The temporal dynamics of energy reserves are associated with the physiological processes
(ie, reproduction) in marine fishes, in which storage organs play a key role for efficient …

Understanding how intraspecific variation in the use of prey resources impacts energy
metabolism has strong implications for predicting long-term fitness and is critical for …

Elasmobranchs have a very distinct metabolism, and many aspects related to the energetic
dynamics of these animals remain poorly investigated. The reproductive period is …

Swordfish Xiphias gladius is a large pelagic fish distributed worldwide and exploited for
human consumption, however there is limited knowledge about its reproductive biology …

Oceanic whitetip sharks Carcharhinus longimanus aggregate at Columbus Point, Cat Island,
The Bahamas, in at least April and May. We show that signs of putative mating activity (ie …

While a growing body of literature has shown that tourism provisioning can influence the
behaviour of wildlife, how physiological state might be related to the nature and magnitude …

The bioenergetic status of fishes has been used to study their physiological responses to
temporal changes at interannual scales. We evaluated the physiological responses of …

Marine ectothermic fishes—fishes that do not regulate internal body temperature
independent from the water temperature—are some of the most vulnerable organisms to …

Dada a elevada diversidade nas estratégias de história de vida, os elasmobrânquios
(tubarões e raias) tornam-se interessantes modelos para o estudo de relações entre a …

Every generation, breeding females and males repopulate ecosystems with the next
generation of offspring. Two models link maternal investments in offspring size and number …
