Energy metabolism (encompassing energy assimilation, conversion and utilization) plays a
central role in all life processes and serves as a link between the organismal physiology …

Fish encounter harsh ionic/osmotic gradients on their aquatic environments, and the
mechanisms through which they maintain internal homeostasis are more challenging …

Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

Global change includes alterations in ocean temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and
pH, abiotic variables with strong and interacting influences on the physiology of all taxa …

Salinity stress occurs when salt concentration in the environment changes rapidly, for
example because of tidal water flow, rainstorms, drought, or evaporation from small bodies …

While the field of epigenetics is increasingly recognized to contribute to the emergence of
phenotypes in mammalian research models across different developmental and …

Ocean acidification from the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 is expected to have deleterious
consequences for many calcifying marine animals. Forecasting the vulnerability of these …

Invasive species are increasingly prevalent in marine ecosystems worldwide. Although
many studies have examined the ecological effects of invasives, little is known about the …

Adaptive variation tends to emerge clinally along environmental gradients or discretely
among habitats with limited connectivity. However, in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) …

Euryhaline fishes live in a wide salinity range from freshwater to seawater and hypersaline
environments. Euryhaline fishes such as salmon, eels, and tilapia are economically …
