Patterns of phenotypic change across environmental gradients (eg, latitude, altitude) have
long captivated the interest of evolutionary ecologists. The pattern and magnitude of …

Climate change can have a pronounced impact on the physiology and behaviour of fishes.
Notably, many climate change stressors, such as global warming, hypoxia and ocean …

Most animals experience temperature variations as they move through the environment. For
ectotherms, in particular, temperature has a strong influence on habitat choice. While well …

Chronic diseases have rapidly become the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality,
yet there is poor understanding of this transition, or why particular social and ethnic groups …

Understanding the capacity of organisms to cope with projected global warming through
acclimation and adaptation is critical to predicting their likely future persistence. While recent …

To increase their chances of survival, prey often behave unpredictably when esca** from
predators. However, the response of predators to, and hence the effectiveness of, such …

Adaptive trade-offs define the trait combinations that differentiate taxa and allow coexistence
along environmental gradients. To understand the physiological trade-offs associated with …

Temperature is a crucial environmental factor that influences physiological functions in
fishes, and increased temperature during development can shape an organism's phenotype …

Compensatory growth (CG) is a key issue in work aiming at a full understanding of the
adaptive significance of growth plasticity and its carryover effects on life-history. The number …

While many ectothermic species can withstand prolonged fasting without mortality, food
deprivation may have sublethal effects of ecological importance, including reductions in …
