.... Fitness Rivulidae Killifish An animal's survival and reproductive success depend on its ability to either operate in variable environments or relocate when conditions become suboptimal. The decision to stay or leave is ultimately based on which option maximizes the animal's fitness ( Nguyen et...

... of the Gulf killifish, Fundulus grandis , during closed and intermittent-flow respirometry. Fitting two line segments of Ṁ O 2 versus P O 2 produced high and variable estimates of P crit , as did nonlinear regression using a hyperbolic (Michaelis–Menten) function. Using nonlinear regression fit...

... examined the role of qualitative changes. Here, we use skeletal muscle RNA-seq data from Atlantic killifish ( Fundulus heteroclitus ), threespine stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) and zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) to investigate the extent of qualitative changes in gene expression in response to cold...

... of inner-mitochondrial membrane (IMM), but little is known about the capacity of organisms to modulate mitochondrial membrane composition. Using northern and southern subspecies of Atlantic killifish ( Fundulus heteroclitus ) that are locally adapted to different environmental temperatures, we assessed...

...Lee S. Toni; Pamela A. Padilla ABSTRACT Although vertebrate embryogenesis is typically a continuous and dynamic process, some embryos have evolved mechanisms to developmentally arrest. The embryos of Austrofundulus limnaeus , a killifish that resides in ephemeral ponds, routinely enter diapause II...

... are affected by thermal acclimation in the eurythermal killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus – a species with substantial plasticity in whole-organism thermal limits. We hypothesized that thermal acclimation would result in functional changes in the mitochondria that could result in trade-offs in function during...

...Rashpal S. Dhillon; Patricia M. Schulte SUMMARY Populations of the Atlantic killifish ( Fundulus heteroclitus ) inhabit salt marshes and estuaries along the eastern coast of North America from Newfoundland to northern Florida, and are thus exposed to a large range of temperatures. Previous studies...

We assessed whole-organism metabolic rate, mitochondrial amount and mitochondrial function in killifish acclimated to several temperatures. Mitochondrial...

...Kelly A. Hyndman; David H. Evans SUMMARY In euryhaline fishes like the killifish ( Fundulus heteroclitus )that experience daily fluctuations in environmental salinity, endothelin 1(EDN1) may be an important regulator molecule necessary to maintain ion homeostasis. The purpose of this study...

...Tammy M. Rodela; Patricia A. Wright SUMMARY In mangrove killifish Rivulus marmoratus , urea excretion( J urea ) follows a distinct diurnal pattern with the highest rates between 12:00 h and 18:00 h. We investigated the regulating mechanisms that underlie temporal rhythms in J urea in R. marmoratus...
