This chapter reviews the influence of environmental temperature on the cardiovascular
system. Specifically, we examine how the cardiovascular system responds to both acute and …

Cardiac phenotypic plasticity, the remodelling of heart structure and function, is a response
to any sustained (or repeated) stimulus or stressor that results in a change in heart …

Mitochondria have been suggested to be paramount for temperature adaptation in insects.
Considering the large range of environments colonized by this taxon, we hypothesized that …

Aquaculture is one of the world's fastest‐growing and most traded food industries, but it is
under the threat of climate‐related risks represented by global warming, marine heatwave …

Mitochondrial function can provide key insights into how fish will respond to climate change,
due to its important role in heart performance, energy metabolism and oxidative stress …

Marine ectotherms are often sensitive to thermal stress, and certain life stages can be
particularly vulnerable (eg, larvae or spawners). In this study, we investigated the critical …

Ectotherm thermal tolerance is critical to species distribution, but at present the physiological
underpinnings of heat tolerance remain poorly understood. Mitochondrial function is …

Mitochondria provide cellular energy through oxidative phosphorylation, and thus
temperature-induced constraints on mitochondrial function may be crucial to animal aerobic …

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 …

In fish, the capacity of thermal acclimation to preserve cardiac mitochondrial function under
future warming scenarios is important to understand given the central roles that cardiac …
