This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Species persistence in the Anthropocene is dramatically threatened by global climate
change. Large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from human activities are driving …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared in sea-cages in Atlantic Canada and Iceland can be
exposed to temperatures as low as 0–1° C during the winter months, and this can result in …

Consequences of the cost of living: is variation in metabolic rate evolutionarily significant? |
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences logo logo Skip main …

Global warming is predicted to increase both acute and prolonged thermal challenges for
aquatic ectotherms. Severe short-and medium-term thermal stress over hours to days may …

A fundamental issue in the metabolic field is whether it is possible to understand underlying
mechanisms that characterize individual variation. Whole-animal performance relies on …

Estimates of organismal thermal tolerance are frequently used to assess physiological risk
from warming, yet the assumption that these estimates are predictive of mortality has been …

Cold acclimation of zebrafish causes changes to the structure and composition of the heart.
However, little is known of the consequences of these changes on heart function or if these …

We investigated how acclimation to 8, 4 and 1 C, and acute cooling from 8 to 1 C, affected
the Atlantic salmon's aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, and cardiac function, during a …

White-blooded Antarctic icefishes, a family within the adaptive radiation of Antarctic
notothenioid fishes, are an example of extreme biological specialization to both the chronic …
