  2. 1. Thermal tolerance in teleost fish –importance of cardiac oxygen supply, ATP production and autonomic control

    Author : Andreas Ekström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acclimation; coronary; CTmax; enzyme; global warming; heart; mitochondria;

    Abstract : Temperature tolerance is a key determinant of the resilience and adaptability of fish facing a warmer and more thermally variable future with climate change. Yet, the underlying physiological mechanisms determining the critical thermal maximum (CTmax) are poorly understood. READ MORE

  4. 2. Adjusting to the extreme : Thermal adaptation in a freshwater gastropod
