Exposure to a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, oxygen and salinity
may influence the oxidative status in aquatic organisms. The present review article focuses …

Although the term environmental stress is used across multiple fields in biology, the inherent
ambiguity associated with its definition has caused confusion when attempting to …

Phenotypic plasticity can be broadly defined as the ability of one genotype to produce more
than one phenotype when exposed to different environments, as the modification of …

A strong foundation of basic and applied research documents that the estuarine fish
Fundulus heteroclitus and related species are unique laboratory and field models for …

Paracellular permeability characteristics of the fish gill epithelium are broadly accepted to
play a key role in piscine salt and water balance. This is typically associated with differences …

Adaptive variation tends to emerge clinally along environmental gradients or discretely
among habitats with limited connectivity. However, in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) …

This study examines changes in gill Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA) α-and β-subunit isoforms, Na+,
K+, 2Cl-cotransporter (NKCC) and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator …

This study investigated the effects of dietary valine on the growth, intestinal immune
response, tight junction proteins transcript abundance and gene expression of immune …

Shallow or near-shore environments, such as ponds, estuaries and intertidal zones, are
among the most physiologically challenging of all aquatic settings. Animals inhabiting these …

Marine to freshwater colonizations constitute among the most dramatic evolutionary
transitions in the history of life. This study examined evolution of ionic regulation following …
