Laboratory-based research dominates the fields of comparative physiology and
biomechanics. The power of lab work has long been recognized by experimental biologists …

In aquatic environments, hypoxia is a multi-dimensional stressor that can vary in O2 level
(partial pressure of O2 in water, P wO2), rate of induction and duration. Natural hypoxic …

Early life stages of salmonids are particularly vulnerable to warming and hypoxia, which are
common stressors in hyporheic, gravel bed, rearing habitat (ie a 'redd'). With the progression …

Ocean warming due to climate change can affect the metabolism, performance, and survival
of ectothermic marine species. On the US Northeast continental shelf (US NES), waters are …

Climate change is leading to rapid change in aquatic environments, increasing the mean
and variability of temperatures, and increasing the incidence of hypoxia. We investigated …

Effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) contains a complex mixture of
contaminants and is a major worldwide source of aquatic pollution. We examined the effects …

Anthropogenically increased occurrence of hypoxic conditions in the aquatic environment,
combined with climate change-induced temperature increase, is causing increased concern …

Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting the physiological
activities and, thus, the fitness of fish, and physiological studies can help predict the effects …

Metabolic rate and hypoxia tolerance are highly variable among individual fish in a stable
environment. Understanding the variability of these measures in wild fish populations is …

Chemical pollutants and/or climate change have the potential to break down reproductive
barriers between species and facilitate hybridization. Hybrid zones may arise in response to …
