Summary: The meta-analysis revealed that hypoxia has a larger negative impact on marine organisms compared to warming and acidification, affecting survival, abundance, development, metabolism, growth, and reproduction. This highlights the importance of considering oxygen concentration as a key factor in future experimental studies on global change in marine environments.

Summary: Physiological studies contribute to understanding the cause and effect relationships of ecological patterns under climate change and the scope and limitations of adaptation. Experimental findings support the hypothesis that the width and temperature range of thermal performance curves relate to biogeographical range and determine the species' capacity to interact with others at the ecosystem level.

Summary: The study reveals that the growth of Atlantic cod is influenced by environmental factors, with cod in the Celtic Sea and northern North Sea being more affected by temperature, while future warming may negatively impact their growth. Growth patterns in Icelandic waters and the Barents Sea are more complex, likely shaped by ontogenetic shifts and physiological adaptations to temperature regimes.

Summary: The recent IPCC Special Reports provide an opportunity to understand a wide range of climate risks, with a scoring system developed to quantify global risk from climate change. By the end of the century, global climate risk is projected to substantially increase, with societal adaptation having the potential to reduce risk but not prevent it entirely. Different frameworks, including expert assessments from the IPCC, show a significant rise in global composite risk by 2100 under both low and high emissions scenarios.

Summary: Earth's biodiversity and human societies are threatened by pollution, overconsumption of resources, urbanization, demographic changes, inequalities, and habitat loss, which are worsened by climate change. This review examines the connection between climate, biodiversity, and society, and proposes a roadmap for sustainability. The roadmap includes limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and preserving and restoring ecosystems on a significant portion of land and water. It emphasizes the need for interconnected protected areas and shared spaces to enhance biodiversity, and the ability of people and nature to adapt to and mitigate climate change. It calls for bold policy interventions and interconnected systems at all levels to promote human, ecosystem, and planetary health for a livable future.

Summary: We assessed a methodology to measure the in vivo protein synthesis rate in Antarctic fish. By injecting labeled phenylalanine into the eelpout species Pachycara brachycephalum and monitoring its incorporation into muscle tissue, we found a low protein synthesis rate for this species. The results were in agreement with previous studies that used radioactive labels, indicating the reliability of this non-radioactive method for studying growth in polar fish.

Summary: This study characterized the CCAP signaling system in Pacific abalone and revealed its relationship with the calcium/PKC and cAMP/PKA signal transduction pathways. It provides new insights into the evolutionary origins of the NPS and OT/VP signaling systems in protostomes.

Summary: Global warming is causing an increase in extreme weather events, affecting ecosystems and the behavior of ectotherms. More research is needed to understand the impact of diurnal thermal variability and improve climate change predictions.

Summary: The acclimatization of certain ectothermic vertebrates to winter conditions involves reduced energy consumption, achieved through decreased movement activity, depression of cellular functions, or switching to anaerobic energy production. This study on crucian carp showed that winter-acclimatized fish exhibited lower metabolic rates and a shift to anaerobic energy production during anoxia. Winter dormancy in crucian carp is achieved through active reduction of energy consumption, a slowed metabolic rate, and a direct response to oxygen absence.

Summary: According to life-history theory, there might be different immunological strategies between reproductive and non-reproductive periods due to limited resources. Our study on two sympatric marine fish species, rockfish and sandperch, found that reproductive individuals showed lower immune function, but higher levels of natural antibodies in rockfish females, compared to their non-reproductive counterparts. On the other hand, reproductively active sandperch males showed lower levels of natural antibodies and higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and spleen index compared to non-reproductive males. The study highlights the species-specific patterns of immunity and the potential influence of resource limitation and abiotic factors on immune trade-offs in fish.

Summary: This study focuses on cardiovascular development in altricial bird species, which has been less studied compared to precocial species. The researchers investigated the cholinergic and adrenergic receptor mediated control of arterial blood pressure and heart rate in the neotropic cormorant. The findings suggest that both cholinergic and adrenergic tone play a role in cardiovascular regulation in embryonic birds.

Summary: This study cloned the genes encoding glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit in largemouth bass, revealing their distribution and transcriptional regulation. The results showed that the functions of G6pc and Gck in LMB were highly conserved in evolution, and the interconversion of glucose and G6P in the liver was well regulated at the transcript level under high starch diet, but a futile cycle was induced after a glucose load.
