- Glucocorticoid–temperature association is shaped by foraging costs in individual zebra finches
Summary: The association between baseline corticosterone and temperature was steeper in zebra finches living in a high- versus low-foraging-costs environment, which supports the metabolic explanation of glucocorticoid variation.
- Upper thermal limits of growth in brook trout and their relationship to stress physiology
Summary: Elevated temperature (>22°C) reduces growth rate and induces endocrine and cellular stress responses of brook trout. Daily temperature oscillation around a mean temperature of 21°C decreases growth and increases heat shock proteins.
- Hormonal and metabolic responses to upper temperature extremes in divergent life-history ecotypes of a garter snake
Summary: Snakes from divergent life-history ecotypes are affected similarly in their response to high temperatures, which induce a physiological stress response and affect energy-regulation pathways.
- Starvation stress during larval development facilitates an adaptive response in adult worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)
Highlighted Article: Honey bees may have an anticipatory mechanism during development that is involved in queen–worker differentiation and worker division of labor, both of which are related to the responses to nutritional stress.
- Larval starvation improves metabolic response to adult starvation in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)
Highlighted Article: Based on the experience of larval food restriction, honey bees, a eusocial insect species, can preset metabolic phenotypes to adapt to adult starvation.
- Metabolic fuel kinetics in fish: swimming, hypoxia and muscle membranes
Summary: Recent measurements of in vivo substrate kinetics, metabolite transporters and membrane properties greatly improve the understanding of metabolic fuel utilization in fish muscle.
