Aquatic animals often display physiological adjustments to improve their biological
performance and hydrosaline balance in saline environments. In addition to energetic costs …

Studies of aquatic invertebrates reveal that salinity affects feeding and growth rates,
reproduction, survival, and diversity. Little is known, however, about how salinity impacts the …

An aquatic animal (either vertebrate or invertebrate) comes into intimate biological
interactions with surrounding water media for most or all of its lifetime. Salinity is a pivotal …

Salinization and pollution are two main environmental stressors leading deterioration to
water quality and degradation of aquatic ecosystems. Amphibians are a highly sensitive …

Osmoregulation is by no means an energetically cheap process, and its costs have been
extensively quantified in terms of respiration and aerobic metabolism. Common products of …

Simple Summary This study explored physiological resilience to and recovery from saline
exposure in Pelophylax nigromaculatus, a semi-aquatic frog that is widely distributed in East …

Freshwater organisms are increasingly exposed to elevated salinity in their habitats,
presenting physiological challenges to homeostasis. Amphibians are particularly vulnerable …

Salinity is a decisive abiotic factor that modulates the physiology of aquatic organisms.
Salinity itself is modulated by various factors—most notably by anthropogenic factors. In …

Water salinity represents an environmental stress for many species. Amphibians are
particularly sensitive because they are generally poor osmoregulators, and most species are …

Understanding the physiological responses of fishes to salinity changes and aquatic
hypoxia is essential for the conservation of marine species. Salinity changes affect the …
