Scientists Discover Natural Fitness Watch In Fishes That Records Their Activity Levels
An international research team including scientists from the University of Southampton have shown for the first time that the energetic cost of living (the metabolic rate) of fish can be measured in structures that grow in their ears.
Blend of Warmer Water, Chemical Exposure Influence Gene Expression Across Generations in a Coastal Fish
Warmer water temperatures, combined with low-level exposure to chemicals already known to be harmful to aquatic life, influence the expression of genes in the offspring of an abundant North American fish species – and threaten organisms whose sex determination is sensitive to water temperature.
Salmon Populations May Adapt Their Eggs To Survive In Degraded Rivers
A University of Southampton study suggests that the membrane of salmon eggs may evolve to cope with reduced oxygen levels in rivers, thereby helping their embryos to incubate successfully.
Climate Change Could Make Corals Go It Alone
Climate change is bad news for coral reefs around the world, with high ocean temperatures causing widespread bleaching events that weaken and kill corals.
Climate Change and Infertility – a Ticking Time Bomb?
Rising temperatures could make some species sterile and see them succumb to the effects of climate change earlier than currently thought, scientists at the University of Liverpool warn.
