Heat shock proteins (Hsps) play an important role in many biological processes. However,
as a typical cold water fish, the systematic identification of Hsp70/110 gene family of rainbow …

Global warming is the main cause for the rise of both global temperatures and sea-level,
both major variables threatening biodiversity. Rising temperatures threaten to breach the …

Heart failure is among the first major consequences of heat stress in aquatic ectotherms.
Mitochondria produce most of the ATP used by the heart and represent almost half of the …

The stress history of an ectotherm may be a pivotal predictor of how they cope with rapid
spikes in environmental temperature. An understanding of how stressors in habitats and …

Species invasions often occur on coasts and estuaries where abiotic conditions vary, eg
salinity, temperature, runoff etc. Successful establishment and dispersal of non-indigenous …

An important goal of environmental and comparative physiology research is to identify
species or populations that may be susceptible to environmental change such as heat wave …

Heat waves constitute a challenge for aquatic ectotherms. However, the thermal tolerance of
animals and their individual phenotypic plasticity to respond to heat waves may be …

Tolerance against acute warming is an essential trait that can determine how organisms
cope during heat waves, yet the mechanisms underlying it remain elusive. Water salinity has …

Species from shallow marine environments are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather
events (heatwaves and extreme rainfall) that can promote abrupt environmental shifts …

Climate warming with associated heat waves presents a concerning challenge for
ectotherms such as fishes. During heatwaves, the ability to rapidly acclimate can be crucial …
