- Patterns of alternative splicing in response to cold acclimation in fish
Summary: Qualitative changes in gene expression, such as those mediated by alternative splicing of mRNAs, are involved in phenotypic plasticity in response to prolonged cold acclimation in ectothermic animals.
- Identification of novel circadian transcripts in the zebrafish retina
Summary: Characterization of the day and night transcriptome of the adult zebrafish retina reveals novel circadian transcripts.
- The origins and evolution of sleep
Summary: Although almost all animals sleep, the ecological and evolutionary factors that govern sleep differences throughout the animal kingdom remain unknown. We review sleep literature in non-mammalian models, describing recent advances in zebrafish, C. elegans and Drosophila, as well as emergent genetic model systems.
- Biomechanics of swimming in developing larval fish
Summary: This Review discusses the solutions that developing larval fish have evolved to the challenges of swimming in the intermediate Reynolds number regime.
- Three-dimensional motion tracking reveals a diving component to visual and auditory escape swims in zebrafish larvae
Summary: Vertical directionality of zebrafish escape swims highlights the importance of ecological validity in motor control research.
- Whole-field visual motion drives swimming in larval zebrafish via a stochastic process
Summary: Initiation of swimming is based on an instantaneous evaluation of whole-field visual sensory input as opposed to an accumulation of evidence over a prolonged time.
- The role of acid-sensing ion channels in epithelial Na+ uptake in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Summary: Acid-sensing ion channels in zebrafish gill epithelium are involved in Na+ uptake.
