The physiological mechanisms limiting and adjusting cold and heat tolerance have regained
interest in the light of global warming and associated shifts in the geographical distribution of …

Recent years have shown a rise in mean global temperatures and a shift in the geographical
distribution of ectothermic animals. For a cause and effect analysis the present paper …

High oxygen solubility at cold-water temperature is frequently considered to be responsible
for an apparently elevated level of antioxidant protection in marine ectotherms from polar …

Mitochondrial respiration, energetic coupling to phosphorylation and the production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) were studied in mitochondria isolated from the eurythermal …

A cause and effect understanding of thermal limitation and adaptation at various levels of
biological organization is crucial in the elaboration of how the Antarctic climate has shaped …

Large changes in oxygen availability in aquatic environments, ranging from anoxia through
to hyperoxia, can lead to corresponding wide variation in the production of reactive oxygen …

Recent advances in molecular biology and the use of DNA microarrays for gene expression
profiling are providing new insights into the animal stress response, particularly the effects of …

Marine bivalves such as the hard shell clams Mercenaria mercenaria and eastern oysters
