Thermal acclimation
- Beneficial effects of a heat wave: higher growth and immune components driven by a higher food intake
Summary: Damselfly larvae benefit from a heat wave by increasing growth rate and immune components, which can be attributed to an increase in food intake.
- Temperature-induced cardiac remodelling in fish
Summary: Thermal acclimation of some temperate fishes causes extensive remodelling of the heart. The resultant changes to the active and passive properties of the heart represent a highly integrated phenotypic response.
- Evaluating the role of NRF-1 in the regulation of the goldfish COX4-1 gene in response to temperature
Summary: The promoter of a critical metabolic gene is used to investigate why fish increase expression of metabolic genes in response to a decrease in body temperature.
- Paradoxical anaerobism in desert pupfish
Highlighted Article: Pupfish acclimated to warm but ecologically relevant temperatures experience extended periods of anaerobism despite the availability of ambient oxygen.
- Mechanisms and costs of mitochondrial thermal acclimation in a eurythermal killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)
Summary: Eurythermal teleosts suppress mitochondrial respiration through NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) with no detectable loss of function during acute temperature shifts.
