Aquatic organisms are challenged by changes in their external environment, such as
temperature and salinity fluctuations. If these variables interacted with each other, the …

Climate change is causing habitat salinity to transform at unprecedented rates across the
globe. While much of the research on climate change has focused on rapid shifts in …

The novel concept of the review is a focus on the organisms living in the sea ice and what
mechanisms they have developed for their existence. The review describes the physical …

Understanding gene functions in marine invertebrates has been limited, largely due to the
lack of suitable assay systems. Such a system requires investigative methods that are …

Pandalid shrimp use morphological and behavioral defenses against their numerous fish
and invertebrate predators. Their rapid tail-flip escape and rigid exoskeleton armor may be …

Abstract Ectotherms, including American lobsters (Homarus americanus), can modify their
body temperature using behavioral thermoregulation, by moving to areas closer to their …

A main concern in marine ecology is understanding the mechanisms driving the responses
of biological systems to environmental fluctuations. A major issue is that each biological …

Species' responses to climate change may vary considerably among populations. Various
response patterns define the portfolio available for a species to cope with and mitigate …

Abstract Changes in temperature and starvation are stressors that can modulate metabolism
and fatty acid (FA) composition among zooplankton. However, studies on FA modulation …

Climate change due to global warming can alter the salinity and pH in aquatic ecosystems.
Low salinity (LS) and ocean acidification (OA) are stressors involved in osmotic regulation …
