Summary: Natural variability in habitat characteristics, including temperature and food availability, can affect the development of marine invertebrates. This study conducted controlled laboratory experiments to investigate the responses of Atlantic surfclam larvae and recruits to a continuous range of temperatures and food concentrations. The results showed that increased food availability promoted larval growth and survival, but decreased pelagic larval duration. Larval survival decreased with increased temperature, while growth peaked at around 22 degrees C. For recruits, both temperature and food availability positively influenced survival and growth, but growth decreased at temperatures above 22 degrees C. These findings have implications for climate change-based forecasting and habitat suitability modeling.

Summary: Social insects are known for their reproductive and behavioral division of labor, but little attention has been paid to the metabolic division of labor. Two forms of metabolic division of labor, homosynergetic and heterosynergetic, are defined, with trophallaxis, trophic eggs, and cannibalism identified as primary transfers underlying the homosynergetic form. It is argued that homosynergetic metabolic division of labor is crucial to colony physiology and may be a necessary feature of superorganismal systems, impacting various life history traits. Investigating metabolic division of labor is important for understanding the major evolutionary transition(s) to superorganismality in social insects.

Summary: This study evaluated the combined impact of salinity and inoculum pretreatment on hydrogen production from food waste. The results showed that acid-treated inoculum had the highest H-2 yield under medium salinity levels. Genomic analysis and metabolic pattern revealed different fermentation types under different salinity levels. This study demonstrated the significance of inoculum pretreatment for the bioconversion of food waste.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of drought and salt stress on tomato seedlings' growth, physiological parameters, and mineral nutrient composition. The results showed that both drought and salinity stress individually had significant impacts on the tomato seedlings, leading to decreased photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll reading value, and plant dry weight. Additionally, the combination of drought and salinity stress resulted in a more pronounced decrease in fresh weight and dry weight of the tomato seedlings, along with alterations in the mineral nutrient composition.

Summary: Organisms can adjust their metabolism and reproduction to survive food limitation, as seen in sea urchins deprived of macroalgae experiencing decreased metabolism and gonad mass, which can be restored when access to food resource is regained. This suggests potential mechanisms for organisms to adapt to prolonged starvation periods in variable resource environments.

Summary: Individuals with rotating and night shift work are prone to metabolic disorders, and time-restricted feeding (tRF) can alleviate metabolic abnormalities caused by circadian rhythm disruption through regulating gut hormone release and activating brown fat thermogenesis.

Summary: Food deprivation affects the predation rate and behavior of the Chinese mitten crab on the freshwater snail, with an initial increase and then decrease in predation and encounter rates. The proportion of stationary time and handling time also show an initial decrease and increase, respectively. Food deprivation affects the crab's predation strategy and the activity of enzymes in the hepatopancreas.

Summary: This study investigated the response of clownfish to fasting and elevated temperature, which are predicted scenarios of climate change. The results showed that clownfish in the high temperature environment had reduced feed intake and increased gut transit. The expression of brain neuropeptides and receptors related to appetite control also changed in response to high temperature. This research suggests that low feed availability and elevated temperature stimulate anorexigenic pathways in clownfish, resulting in lower feed intake despite the increase in metabolic rate.

Summary: This study examined how stage I phyllosoma larvae of the spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus cope with limited and variable food resources. The results showed that the accessibility of suitable prey influenced the digestive enzyme activities and substrate utilization in these larvae. The larvae were able to adaptively adjust enzyme activities based on their nutritional history to endure periods of food deprivation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of social group size and shelter availability on the metabolic rates of Eurasian minnows. The findings suggest that social group size may directly influence the energy demands of individuals, emphasizing the importance of understanding the role of group size in variations in physiological traits related to energy expenditure.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of social rearing environments and food availability on metabolic rates and growth in grass carp. The results showed that social isolation inhibited fish growth but did not affect the aerobic scope. Flexibility in metabolic rates can confer a growth advantage under changing food availability, independent of social isolation and food intake.
