Heavy metals have been associated with many fish deformities in natural populations and in
laboratory produced specimens as well. Deformities in general have devastating effects on …

Animal models of cardiovascular disease are key players in the translational medicine
pipeline used to define the conserved genetic and molecular basis of disease. Congenital …

Global warming is intensifying interest in the mechanisms enabling ectothermic animals to
adjust physiological performance and cope with temperature change. Here we show that …

Environmental factors influencing parents or offspring during embryogenesis can have
knock-on effects at later life stages of the offspring. These effects may prepare the progeny …

Many types of lignocellulosic biomass show effective binding of toxic heavy metals from
industrial and environmental effluents. Biosorption is an emerging option for conventional …

Although zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a highly studied organism on many fields of research,
many aspects of its basic biology still elude the scientific community. Its response to …

Fishes are sensitive to their thermal environment and face an uncertain future in a warming
world. Theoretically, populations in novel environments might express greater levels of …

The zebrafish is a valuable model organism that is widely used in studies of vertebrate
development. In the laboratory, zebrafish embryonic development is normally carried out at …

Locomotor biomechanics faces a core trade-off between laboratory-based and field-based
studies. Laboratory conditions offer control over confounding factors, repeatability, and …

Caffeine is a contaminant frequently detected in water bodies. Growth trends in both human
population and caffeine consumption per capita are expected to exacerbate the occurrence …
