... the nasal cavities to prevent water entry while also facilitating pressure equilibration between the nasal cavities and ambient hydrostatic pressure ( P amb ) at depth. We investigated nasal plug behaviour using videos of rorquals surfacing, plug morphology from dissections, histology and MRI scans...

... pressure is proposed to contribute to a physiological bottleneck constraining depth range extension in shallow-water taxa. However, bathymetric limitation by hydrostatic pressure remains undemonstrated, and the mechanism limiting hyperbaric tolerance remains hypothetical. Here, we assess the effects...

..., in ways that preclude the establishment of viable populations or lead to competitive exclusion by teleosts. Increasing hydrostatic pressure and decreasing temperature cause phospholipid bilayer membranes to become less fluid, which can perturb function of the membrane and membrane-bound proteins...

...James P. Morris; Sven Thatje; Juliette Ravaux; Bruce Shillito; Chris Hauton ABSTRACT Hydrostatic pressure is an important, ubiquitous, environmental variable of particular relevance in the marine environment. However, it is widely overlooked despite recent evidence that some marine ectotherms may...

...Paul H. Yancey; Joseph F. Siebenaller; Jason E. Podrabsky; Jonathon H. Stillman; Lars Tomanek ABSTRACT Organisms experience a wide range of environmental factors such as temperature, salinity and hydrostatic pressure, which pose challenges to biochemical processes. Studies on adaptations...

... the hypothesis that TMAO may compensate for the adverse effects of elevated pressure on protein structure in deep-sea species, we studied the efficacy of TMAO in preventing denaturation and enhanced proteolysis by hydrostatic pressure. TMAO was compared to a common ‘compatible’ osmolyte, glycine, using muscle...

...ELIZABETH DAHLHOFF; GEORGE N. SOMERO Effects of temperature and hydrostatic pressure were measured on cytosolic malate dehydrogenases (cMDHs) from muscle tissue of a variety of shallow- and deep-living benthic marine invertebrates, including seven species endemic to the deep-sea hydrothermal vents...

...JOSEPH F. SIEBENALLER; ARTHUR F. HAGAR; THOMAS F. MURRAY To investigate the effects of deep-sea temperatures and hydrostatic pressures on transmembrane signal transduction, the A 1 adenosine receptor/inhibitory G protein/adenylyl cyclase complex was studied in brain membranes from two congeneric...

...+ ions. Because these cations are known to induce alterations in the behaviour of Paramecium swimming at atmospheric pressure, we can make specific predictions regarding how substitution of cations might alter the responses of Paramecium to changes in hydrostatic pressure ( Kung & Saimi, 1982...
