Osmotic and ionic regulation in the Crustacea is mostly accomplished by the multifunctional
gills, together with the excretory organs. In addition to their role in gas exchange, the gills …

Decapod crustaceans exhibit a wide range of osmoregulatory patterns and capabilities from
marine osmoconformers to brackish and freshwater hyperregulators to terrestrial …

Exposure to water-borne pollutants, environmental stressors and pathological agents of a
crustacean capable of osmoregulation usually results in a decrease of its Na+ and Cl …

Life in fresh water is osmotically and energetically challenging for living organisms, requiring
increases in ion uptake from dilute environments. However, mechanisms of ion uptake from …

In animal cells, the cell volume must remain close to constant; thus, the osmolality of the
cytosol must be kept almost equal to that of the cell-surrounding medium to prevent water …

The wide distribution of crustaceans from freshwater through brackish into marine waters
and from salt marshes to terrestrial zones shows the exceptional capacities of this animal …

To evaluate trends in the osmoregulatory behavior of neotropical, palaemonid shrimps, we
investigated osmotic and ionic regulatory patterns in five species of Palaemon or …

To better understand the adaptive strategies that led to freshwater invasion by hyper-
regulating Crustacea, we prepared a microsomal (Na+, K+)-ATPase by differential …

The Macrobrachium amazonicum complex is composed of at least the Macrobrachium
amazonicum and Macrobrachium pantanalense species, with the latter described from …

We evaluate osmotic and chloride (Cl–) regulatory capability in the diadromous shrimp
Macrobrachium amazonicum, and the accompanying alterations in hemolymph osmolality …
