In the 1950s, Arthur C. Guyton removed the heart from its pedestal in cardiovascular
physiology by arguing that cardiac output is primarily regulated by the peripheral …

Global warming is affecting the Antarctic continent in complex ways. Because Antarctic
organisms are specialized to living in the cold, they are vulnerable to increasing …

If marine organisms are to persist through the Anthropocene, they will need to be resilient,
but what is resilience, and can resilience of marine organisms build within a single lifetime …

Natural selection has produced many vertebrate 'solutions' for the cardiac life-support
system, especially among the approximately 30,000 species of fishes. For example, across …

Studies of heart function and metabolism have been used to predict the impact of global
warming on fish survival and distribution, and their susceptibility to acute and chronic …

To elucidate the potential risks of the toxic pollutant mercury (Hg) in polar waters, the study
of accumulated Hg in fish is compelling for understanding the cycling and fate of Hg on a …

Common killifish Fundulus heteroclitus were acclimated to ecologically relevant
temperatures (5, 15 and 33° C) and their maximum heart rate (fHmax) was measured at …

The ability of Antarctic notothenioid fishes to mount a robust molecular response to hypoxia
is largely unknown. The transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a …

The nature of the current rotating roster, providing 24‐h air traffic services over five irregular
shifts, leads to accumulated fatigue which impairs air traffic controllers' cognitive function …

Antarctic fishes have evolved under stable, extreme cold temperatures for millions of years.
Adapted to thrive in the cold environment, their specialized phenotypes will likely render …
