Impact of acute and chronic hypoxia on the heme oxygenase/carbon monoxide pathway in naked mole-rats ( Heterocephalus glaber )
ABSTRACTHeme oxygenase (HO) enzymes are responsible for the degradation of free heme and producing endogenous carbon monoxide (CO). Research has suggested that the HO–CO pathway imparts protective effects to hypoxic tissues. The objective of this ...

Temperature outweighs diet in shaping developmental performance in two cricket species via growth delays and physiological limits
ABSTRACTUnderstanding how chronic environmental stressors shape animal development is essential for predicting ecological responses and optimizing rearing systems. This perspective complements the use of short-term tolerance assays, which overlook...

Heat increment of feeding in the common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) contributes moderately to field metabolic rate estimates
ABSTRACTDigestion elevates metabolism through the heat increment of feeding (HIF) – the energy expended on mechanical and biochemical processes after eating. Quantifying this cost is essential for bioenergetic models that predict energy flow and p...

Frequency and leg stiffness adaptation in human vertical hopping before, during and after added load
ABSTRACTTerrestrial animal gaits often use spring-like mechanics to enhance movement economy through elastic energy cycling. Hopping is a relatively simple, constrained task, yet retains essential features of bouncing gaits, requiring cyclic regul...

Determinants of orb web spider glue droplet hygroscopicity
ABSTRACTThe adhesion of the viscoelastic protein cores within the glue droplets of an araneoid orb web's prey capture thread is ensured by droplet hygroscopicity. Atmospheric moisture attracted by low molecular mass compounds (LMMCs) in the aqueou...
