Swimming Performance Assessments of Fish Species of Greatest Conservation Need to Inform Future Stream Crossing Designs in Texas Open
Conventional structures associated with stream crossings such as bridges and culverts can lead to zones of high-velocity water flow that impede fish passage. Such obstacles are likely to harm native fish populations by impacting migrations…

Metabolic reprogramming underlies cavefish muscular endurance despite loss of muscle mass and contractility Open
Physical inactivity – specifically the lack of moderate-to-vigorous activity – is a scourge to human health, promoting metabolic disease and muscle wasting. Interestingly, multiple ecological niches have relaxed investment into physical ac…

Is aquaporin‐3 involved in water‐permeability changes in the killifish during hypoxia and normoxic recovery, in freshwater or seawater? Open
Aquaporins are the predominant water‐transporting proteins in vertebrates, but only a handful of studies have investigated aquaporin function in fish, particularly in mediating water permeability during salinity challenges. Even less is kn…

Salt-water acclimation of the estuarine crocodile <i>Crocodylus porosus</i> involves enhanced ion transport properties of the urodaeum and rectum Open
Estuarine crocodiles Crocodylus porosus inhabit freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Despite being known to undertake extensive movements throughout and between hypo- and hyperosmotic environments, little is known on the role of …

Altered expression of ionotropic L-Glutamate receptors in aged sensory neurons of Aplysia californica Open
The simplified nervous system of Aplysia californica (Aplysia) allows for detailed studies of physiological and molecular changes in small sets of neurons. Sensory neurons of the biting and tail withdrawal reflexes are glutamatergic and sh…

The osmorespiratory compromise in the euryhaline killifish: water regulation during hypoxia Open
Freshwater- and seawater-acclimated Fundulus heteroclitus were exposed to acute hypoxia (10% air saturation, 3h), followed by normoxic recovery (3h). In both salinities, ventilation increased and heart rate fell in the classic manner, whil…

Combined effects of elevated temperature and Deepwater Horizon oil exposure on the cardiac performance of larval mahi-mahi, Coryphaena hippurus Open
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill coincided with the spawning season of many pelagic fish species in the Gulf of Mexico. Yet, few studies have investigated physiological responses of larval fish to interactions between anthropogenic cru…

Morphology and cardiac physiology are differentially affected by temperature in developing larvae of the marine fish mahi-mahi (<i>Coryphaena hippurus</i>) Open
Cardiovascular performance is altered by temperature in larval fishes, but how acute vs. chronic temperature exposures independently affect cardiac morphology and physiology in the growing larva is poorly understood. Consequently, the infl…

Corresponding morphological and molecular indicators of crude oil toxicity to the developing hearts of mahi mahi Open
Crude oils from distinct geological sources worldwide are toxic to developing fish hearts. When oil spills occur in fish spawning habitats, natural resource injury assessments often rely on conventional morphometric analyses of heart form …

The differential role of renoguanylin in osmoregulation and apical Cl<sup>−</sup>/HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>exchange activity in the posterior intestine of the Gulf toadfish (<i>Opsanus beta</i>) Open
The guanylin family of peptides are effective regulators of intestinal physiology in marine teleosts. In the distal intestinal segments, they inhibit or reverse fluid absorption by inhibiting the absorptive short-circuit current ( I sc ). …
