    Electrical aspects of the osmorespiratory compromise: TEP responses to hypoxia in the euryhaline killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) in freshwater and seawater
    Chris M. Wood, Martin Grosell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2152-2155; doi: 10.1242/jeb.122176

    Summary: A previously undetected consequence of the osmorespiratory compromise is that acute hypoxia causes marked changes in gill transepithelial potential, which will affect ionoregulation in both freshwater and seawater killifish.

    Fluctuating temperatures and ectotherm growth: distinguishing non-linear and time-dependent effects
    Joel G. Kingsolver, Jessica K. Higgins, Kate E. Augustine
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2218-2225; doi: 10.1242/jeb.120733

    Summary: Growth rates measured at constant temperatures do not correctly predict mean growth under fluctuating conditions because of both non-linear and time-dependent effects. This has important implications for modeling ecological responses to climate change.
