Biologists have long appreciated the critical role that energy turnover plays in understanding
variation in performance and fitness among individuals. Whole-organism metabolic studies …

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 …

N-(1, 3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-quinone), a rubber
tire oxidation product found in road runoff, is highly and acutely toxic to selected salmonids …

Environmental signals act primarily on physiological systems, which then influence higher‐
level functions such as movement patterns and population dynamics. Increases in average …

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Prolonged excessive alcohol intake contributes to …

Human activity is changing climatic conditions at an unprecedented rate. The impact of
these changes may be especially acute on ectotherms since they have limited capacities to …

Metabolic rate reflects an organism's capacity for growth, maintenance and reproduction,
and is likely to be a target of selection. Physiologists have long sought to understand the …

Hypoxia is a common occurrence in aquatic habitats, and it is becoming an increasingly
frequent and widespread environmental perturbation, primarily as the result of …

Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

Osmoregulation is by no means an energetically cheap process, and its costs have been
extensively quantified in terms of respiration and aerobic metabolism. Common products of …
