..., the ILCM can be shed within minutes if oxygen demands quickly increase ( Tzaneva and Perry, 2010 ). This dramatic reversible gill remodelling was first observed in crucian carp ( Carassius carassius ) in hypoxia ( Sollid et al., 2003 ) and has since been observed in other fish species (e.g. Dhillon et al...

This type of positive feedback may explain how amphibious behaviour has repeatedly evolved in fishes that occupy hypoxic aquatic habitats despite the associated challenges of life on land. * Author for correspondence ( liam.tigert...
