Behavioural responses to acute warming precede critical shifts in the cellular and physiological thermal stress responses in fish

The paper examines how behavioural responses to acute warming in Brook Trout precede shifts in cellular and physiological thermal stress responses, identifying a potential link between behavioural avoidance and transcriptome changes.

Migration distance and mating system are not associated with genetic diversity and differentiation among bats (Chiroptera)

The paper examines the relationship between migration and mating strategies and genetic diversity in bats, finding no significant correlations.

Integrated organismal responses induced by ecologically-relevant pCO2 and temperature exposures in developing lake sturgeon

This study examines how rising CO2 and temperature affect lake sturgeon development, finding altered transcriptional patterns and reduced metabolic rates under combined stressors.

Tissue-specific transcriptomes reveal mechanisms of microbiome regulation in an ancient fish

The paper provides a transcriptomic database for lake sturgeon tissues and explores microbiome regulation mechanisms in gut compartments.

Acute thermal stress elicits interactions between gene expression and alternative splicing in a fish of conservation concern

The paper investigates gene expression and alternative splicing interactions in redside dace under acute thermal stress, revealing transcriptional pathways relevant to conservation and thermal tolerance.

A chromosomal inversion may facilitate adaptation despite periodic gene flow in a freshwater fish

The paper identifies a chromosomal inversion in walleye fish that may promote adaptive divergence despite gene flow between lakes.

Morphology and Blood Metabolites Reflect Recent Spatial Differences Among Lake Winnipeg Walleye, Sander vitreus

This study examines spatial differences in growth and blood metabolites of Lake Winnipeg walleye, finding reduced growth and elevated amino acids in the north basin, suggesting nutritional limitations.
