ESTIVATION IN SOUTH-AMERICAN AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica (ABRADIC), 1995-11-01)
A number of amphibians and reptiles have cyclic behavior, becoming inactive with the coming of the dry season. In South America this pattern of activity is common, particularly in savannah-like vegetation. During the dry ...
Effects of metal contamination in situ on osmoregulation and oxygen consumption in the mudflat fiddler crab Uca rapax (Ocypodidae, Brachyura)
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-07-01)
The contamination of estuaries by metals can impose additional stresses on estuarine species, which may exhibit a limited capability to adjust their regulatory processes and maintain physiological homeostasis. The mudflat ...
Inter- and intraspecific variation in the use of marine food resources by three Cinclodes (Furnariidae, Aves) species: Carbon isotopes and osmoregulatory physiology
(Elsevier GmbH, 2002)
The avian genus Cinclodes (Furnariidae) includes species that inhabit both inland and marine shores. We compared the carbon isotopic
composition and osmoregulatory capacities of field caught individuals of three Cinclodes ...
Effects on the metabolism, growth, digestive capacity and osmoregulation of juvenile of Sub-Antarctic Notothenioid fish Eleginops maclovinus acclimated at different salinities
(2015)
In this study we assessed the influence of three different environmental salinities (5, 15 and 31 psu during 90 days) on growth, osmoregulation, energy metabolism and digestive capacity in juveniles of the Notothenioid ...
Generation of an aquaglyceroporin AQP1 null mutant in Leishmania major
(Elsevier Ltda, 2016)
The integration of digestion and osmoregulation in the avian gut
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-11)
We review digestion and osmoregulation in the avian gut, with an emphasis on the ways these different functions might interact to support or constrain each other and the ways they support the functioning of the whole animal ...
Osmoregulatory responses to dietary protein and water intake in the granivorous Zonotrichia capensis (Passerine, Emberizidae)
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2007)
We studied the osmoregulatory responses of the granivore Zonotrichia capensis, acclimated to high- and low-protein diets as well as two levels of water intake. We tested whether Z. capensis has the ability to modify the ...
