Physiological and morphological characteristics of yeasts isolated from waste oil effluents
(Springer, 2000-08)
Pichia membranaefaciens, Cryptococcus laurentii, Rhodotorula glutinis and Candida krusei were isolated from contaminated sites. A significant variability in cell forms and in assimilation profiles was observed in the C. ...
Digestive Physiology of Three Species of Decapoda Crustaceans of Argentina
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2013-12)
This review has the available information about the digestive physiology and morphology of three decapod species from Argentina: Pleoticus muelleri, Artemesia longinaris, and Neohelice granulata. The anatomy of the foregut ...
Hydra as an animal model system in Physiology
(Argentine Physiological Society, 2021-09)
Hydra has been used as a model in different topics in biology, including physiology. It pertains to the Phylum Cnidaria, an ancestral group of Metazoa that shares a common ancestor with Bilateria. Hydra provides an ...
Linking thermo-tolerances of the highly invasive little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, to its current and potential distribution. Biological Invasions
(Springer, 2019-12)
Species distribution models based on the correlation of bioclimatic variables and presence spatial data-points are useful for recognizing species habitat suitability. However, they have limitations in predicting the ...
Low plasticity in digestive physiology constrains feeding ecology in diet specialist, Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
(Company of Biologists, 2009-12)
It can be hypothesized that species with a wide or variable food niche are able to adjust their digestive physiology to current food type. In diet specialists, however, the capacity for such presumably costly plasticity ...
Laboratory experience for teaching sensory physiology
(American Physiological Society, 2009-05)
The major challenge in laboratory teaching is the application of abstract concepts in simple and direct practical lessons. However, students rarely have the opportunity to participate in a laboratory that combines practical ...
Physiological cardiac hypertrophy: Critical role of AKT in the prevention of NHE-1 hyperactivity
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Background: The involvement of NHE-1 hyperactivity, critical for pathological cardiac hypertrophy (CH), in physiological CH has not been elucidated yet. Stimulation of NHE-1 increases intracellular Na+ and Ca2 + favouring ...
Activity levels of female Triatoma infestans change depending on physiological condition
(BioMed Central, 2018-10)
Background: Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is the main vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, in South America. Active dispersal of this vector is the principal cause of recolonization ...
Chasing cardiac physiology and pathology down the CaMKII cascade
(American Physiological Society, 2015-02)
Calcium dynamics is central in cardiac physiology, as the key event leading to the excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) and relaxation processes. The primary function of Ca2+ in the heart is the control of mechanical ...
Long-term starvation and posterior feeding effects on biochemical and physiological responses of midgut gland of Cherax quadricarinatus juveniles (Parastacidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03)
We investigated the effect of long-term starvation and posterior feeding on energetic reserves, oxidative stress, digestive enzymes, and histology of C. quadricarinatus midgut gland. The crayfish (6.27 g) were randomly ...
