DOI: 10.1002/cphy.c190004
Abstract: By investigating evolutionary adaptations that change physiological functions, we can enhance our understanding of how organisms work, the importance of physiological traits, and the genes that influence these traits. This approach of investigating the evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10646-020-02210-7
Abstract: Recent studies on the distribution of microplastics in the Charleston Harbor, SC, USA revealed that a large part of the microplastic particles that are found in the intertidal sediments are tire wear particles. These particles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2019.105221
Abstract: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) tend to precipitate in saline waters so the majority of aquatic toxicity studies have focused on freshwaters, where bioavailability is presumed to be higher. Recent studies have illustrated that some ENM formulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.171532
Abstract: Populations of the non-migratory estuarine fish Fundulus heteroclitus inhabiting the heavily polluted New Bedford Harbour (NBH) estuary have shown inherited tolerance to local pollutants introduced to their habitats in the past 100 years. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14103
Abstract: The effects of an ecologically relevant range of salinities (2, 12, 22, 32) on thermal preferences and growth of adult mummichogs Fundulus heteroclitus were determined for fish from a southern Chesapeake Bay population. Salinity did… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14273
Abstract: Fast-start predator-escape performance of mummichogs Fundulus heteroclitus was tested across field-informed gradients in temperature (24, 30, and 36 °C) and salinity (2, 12, and 32 ppt). Performance was similar across temperatures and salinities when fish… read more here.

The osmorespiratory compromise: physiological responses and tolerance to hypoxia are affected by salinity acclimation in the euryhaline Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.206599
Abstract: ABSTRACT The characteristics of the fish gill that maximize gas exchange are the same that promote diffusion of ions and water to and from the environment; therefore, physiological trade-offs are likely to occur. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/hsz-2018-0425
Abstract: Abstract Many widespread and persistent organic pollutants, for example, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and some polychlorinated biphenyls, activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) causing it to translocate to the cell nucleus where it transactivates target genes, increasing… read more here.
