Winterkill lakes often have a characteristic fish community, presumably composed of species able to survive winter hypoxia. Our research on a small winterkill lake in northern Wisconsin indicates that fishes common in winterkill lakes have behavioral adaptations for tolerating or avoiding winter hypoxia...
Physiological, behavioral and biochemical adaptations of intertidal fishes to hypoxia 喜欢 0 阅读量: 243 作者:Richards,J. G. 摘要: SummaryHypoxia survival in fish requires a well-coordinated response to either secure more O2 from the hypoxic environment or to limit the metabolic consequences of an...
The giant squid, which can get as big as 70 feet long when most squids top out a 12 inches, is attached to many myths. In truth, giantsquid adaptationsarose to allow it to survive and thrive in the deep ocean where light is very limited. Giant Squid Size The giant squid size could ...
Within the species Astyanax mexicanus, there are several inter-fertile populations of river-dwelling sighted fish and cave-dwelling blind fish which have evolved morphological and behavioral adaptations. We have recently reported a developmental and neurophysiological basis for the loss of aggressive behavio...
Consequently, these species have become models for studying the evolution of animal adaptations to extreme environments (Riddle et al., 2018; Yoshizawa, 2015), as well as ideal models to study environmental influences on the stress response of organisms. In a given environment, stressors and ...
Overall, differences in repeatability between these closely related species likely reflect adaptations to contrasting environmental and social conditions, although alternative explanations must be considered. The differences in behavioral consistency between these two endemic anemonefishes could lead to disparity ...
Animal Adaptations 动物的适应能力 Adaptations are the special features that help an animal live and survive in certain places or habitats. There are three kinds of animal adaptations: Behavioral, Physical, and Life Cycle. 适应能力可以使动物在特定环境或栖息地生活。动物适应能力可分为三种:行为,外形和...

Between the neurotransmission systems modulated by alcohol, the opioid system has been receiving attention in studies that seek to understand its relationship to the effects of addictive substances and different neuropsychiatric disorders. The use of naltrexone stands out in determining the mechanisms of ...
(i.e., the competition between the ejaculates of different males for fertilization of a given set of ova) was suggested to contribute to sexual selection (Parker 1970) and to drive the evolution of numerous physiological, behavioral or morphological adaptations in males and females (Wigby and ...
