.... This decreased gill surface area with warming contrasts with what is observed for exclusively aquatic fish and suggests a preparatory gill response for emersion in these amphibious fish. Collectively, our data reveal the importance of considering stochastic thermal variability when studying the effects...

... and Leeuwen, 2006 ). However, the uneven distribution of media (air–solid interface) on land poses a challenge for amphibious fish, especially in terms of converting the axial body undulation into terrestrial propulsion. In the fully aquatic fishes Danio rerio and Gambusia affinis ( Gibb et al., 2011...

... transitional kinematics amphibious fish locomotion The capacity to transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments is most easily recognized when accompanied by morphological specializations associated with weight bearing in a gravity-dominated environment; e.g. fins that adopt a limb-like...

...Kelly S. Regan; Michael G. Jonz; Patricia A. Wright SUMMARY Teleost fish have oxygen-sensitive neuroepithelial cells (NECs) in the gills that appear to mediate physiological responses to hypoxia, but little is known about oxygen sensing in amphibious fish. The mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias...

... to produce an effective behavior across such disparate habitats? Here, we examine an elongate amphibious fish, the ropefish ( Erpetoichthys calabaricus ), and ask: (1) how do locomotor movements change during the transition between aquatic and terrestrial environments and (2) do distantly related amphibious...
