This study investigates how cobalt ions affect the K+-phosphatase activity of a blue crab gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase, showing stimulatory and inhibitory effects depending on the presence of Mg2+.

This study examines whether fiddler crabs can mobilize intracellular free amino acids during salinity challenges, finding asymmetrical FAA responses to hyper- and hypo-osmotic stress.

This study compares osmoregulatory strategies and gill ion transporter gene expression in two Sub-Antarctic crabs, revealing interspecific differences in salinity tolerance and gene regulation.

The paper examines osmoregulatory adaptations in freshwater invertebrates, showing a logarithmic decrease in hemolymph osmolality with increasing surface-to-volume ratios and a cut-off at ~200 mOsmoles/kg H2O.

This study compares submersion and desiccation tolerances between two Galapagos fiddler crab species, revealing differences in physiological adaptations and oxidative stress responses.

This study examines salt transport mechanisms in palaemonid shrimps across different salinity niches, finding that gill NKCC expression correlates with osmoregulatory capabilities and suggests a role in salt uptake.

This study examines how salinity affects (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in Ucides cordatus crabs, showing activity peaks at isosmotic conditions and modulation by FXYD2 peptide and protein kinases.

This study examines the effects of long-term dietary copper contamination on osmoregulation in the mudflat fiddler crab Minuca rapax, showing changes in copper accumulation and ion regulation.

This study compares osmoregulatory strategies in two freshwater crustaceans, showing divergent gene expression responses to osmotic stress.
