Physiological, biochemical, and anatomical responses of Araucaria araucana seedlings to controlled water restriction
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2021-08)
Water stress triggers acclimation responses and can damage plants, which varies by species and stress levels. Ongoing climate change is projected to result in longer and more intense water stress conditions leading to an ...
How sensitive are temperate tadpoles to climate change? The use of thermal physiology and niche model tools to assess vulnerability
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-04)
Ectotherms are vulnerable to climate change, given their dependence on temperature, and amphibians are particularly interesting because of their complex life cycle. Tadpoles may regulate their body temperature by using ...
Ecophysiological Responses of Tall Wheatgrass Germplasm to Drought and Salinity
(MDPI, 2022-06)
Tall wheatgrass (Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth and D.R. Dewey) is an important, highly salt-tolerant C3 forage grass. The objective of this work was to learn about the ecophysiological responses of accessions from ...
State of the art knowledge in adrenocortical and behavioral responses to environmental challenges in a threatened South American ratite: Implications to in situ and ex-situ conservation
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-04)
The Greater Rhea (Rhea americana) is an endemic ratite to South America, whose wild populations have undergone a remarkable decrease due to habitat degradation and fragmentation by the expansion of the agricultural frontier, ...
Responses of the resident rocky crab (Halicarcinus planatus, Decapoda) to natural stressors and effluent discharges in Ushuaia Bay, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2012-12)
Ushuaia City has been growing since 1980 and industrial and domestic effluents have been discharged along its coasts. The present study evaluates the acute exposure of the rocky crab Halicarcinus planatus to three environmental ...
Physiological stress in captive Greater rheas (Rhea americana): Highly sensitive plasma corticosterone response to an ACTH challenge
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2009-12)
Up to the present no studies have been conducted either on baseline concentrations of adrenal hormones or on hormonal responses to stress in Greater rhea (Rhea americana) and most ratite species. The aims of this work were ...
Physiological response and multi-elemental content in lichens growing on agricultural fences: A pilot study comparing no-tillage and organic cropping
(Springer, 2020-08)
The objective of this study is to compare the physiological response (content and degradation of photosynthetic pigments, membrane oxidation products and soluble proteins) and multi-element content of Ramalina celastri ...
Sex differences in cold hardiness and desiccation tolerance of invasive apple snails in South China
(Institute of Malacology, 2019-03-29)
Sex differences in stress responses may be a key factor that determines population structure. Sex ratios of Pomacea canaliculata populations usually average 1:1 at birth, but are often female-biased for adults. Low ...
Expression of circadian clock genes and diurnal oscillations of key physiological events in response to AsV and AsIII in soybean plants
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-06)
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is often cultivated in soils with a high content of arsenic (As). Since this greatly affects crop growth and yield, the response mechanisms underlying tolerance to As should be well understood. ...
Physiological parameter values in greyhounds before and after high-intensity exercise
(Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tripoli, 2018-03)
Dog sports competitions have greatly expanded. The availability of reference values for each type of activity could help assess fitness accurately. Heart rate (HR), blood lactate (BL) and rectal temperature (RT) are relevant ...
