Adjustments in mitochondrial properties and capacities are crucial in acclimatization to
seasonal cold as well as in evolutionary cold adaptation of marine ectotherms. To examine …

Activities of citrate synthase (CS), cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) and the electron transport
system (ETS) were investigated in white muscle and liver of laboratory-maintained cod …

Adjustments in mitochondrial properties and capacities are crucial in acclimatization to
seasonal cold and in evolutionary cold adaptation of marine ectotherms. Although long-term …

Mitochondrial plasticity plays a central role in setting the capacity for acclimation of aerobic
metabolism in ectotherms in response to environmental changes. We still lack a clear picture …

Many fish species respond to low temperature by inducing mitochondrial biogenesis,
reflected in an increase in activity of the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase (COX) …

It is widely accepted that adaptation to the extreme cold has evolved at the expense of high
thermal sensitivity. However, recent studies have demonstrated significant capacities for …

We sought to determine the molecular basis of elevations in aerobic metabolic capacity in
the oxidative muscle and liver of Gasterosteus aculeatus in response to cold acclimation …

As global temperatures rise, there is a growing need to understand the physiological
mechanisms that determine an organism's thermal niche. Here, we test the hypothesis that …

Populations of the Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabit salt marshes and estuaries
along the eastern coast of North America from Newfoundland to northern Florida, and are …

Aerobic metabolism of aquatic ectotherms is highly sensitive to fluctuating climates. Many
mitochondrial traits exhibit phenotypic plasticity in response to acute variations in …
