Cold tolerance is a key determinant of poleward colonization in insects. However, the physiological basis underlying interspecific differences cold not fully understood. Here, we analyzed and metabolomic profiles warm- cold-acclimated phenotypes 43 Drosophila species representing latitudinal gradient from tropics to boreal zone. We found strong positive correlation between climatic variables associated with habitat seasonality temperature. Including effects acclimation, most have similar...
ABSTRACT Zebrafish have become a widely used vertebrate model in physiology and reliable measures of their metabolic rate are needed. We developed 3D-printed respirometer swim tunnel system it for obtaining accurate measurement standard (SMR) maximal, aerobic (MMR) zebrafish under rest maximal exercise, respectively. compared slow (stepwise) protocol to fast (continuous) determining MMR. The yielded slightly (but not significantly) higher oxygen consumption rates than the data, contrast...
