Summary: This study examined the relationship between endurance and exertion capacity in green anole lizards. The results showed that exertion capacity was unaffected by different types of training and that the relationship between endurance and exertion capacity was inconsistent, particularly among females. The study suggests that exertion should be studied as an independent locomotor trait rather than a proxy for endurance.

Summary: This study aimed to assess metabolic flexibility in participants with type 2 diabetes under different physiological conditions and evaluate the impact of aerobic training on these features. Metabolic assessments showed that physically active individuals had better MetFlex compared to obese individuals with or without diabetes. Aerobic training was found to improve certain features of MetFlex in type 2 diabetes patients, indicating the importance of assessing various aspects of metabolic flexibility and distinguishing insulin resistance from MetFlex.

Summary: This paper proposes a strategy to enhance the efficiency of BWS treadmill training by regulating the height of the BWS system to track the height of the subject's center of mass. The strategy improves the stability of CoM height during training, increases the stance phase duration of the paretic side, and promotes gait symmetry. Additionally, it increases the ranges of motion for hip and knee joints compared to constant weight support.

Summary: Heart failure is a complex syndrome with diverse presentations and severity. Current prognostic markers, such as left ventricular ejection fraction, have limitations in accurately predicting outcomes and guiding management decisions. Metabolic exercise testing, which evaluates multisystem responses and aerobic capacity during exercise, provides a more comprehensive and reliable assessment, especially in heart failure patients.

Summary: The study found that different fish species have different responses to ingesting microplastics, with actively feeding fish consuming more. All observed species did not actively capture microfibers but instead passively sucked them in while breathing. Fish exhibited a behavior of rejecting microfibers, but some fibers were still found in their bodies.

Summary: The study found that qingbo exhibit a stronger anti-predator response to active hunting predators than to ambush predators. Additionally, the response of prey fish to multiple predators was quite complex, and the coexistence and interaction of multiple predator species with different hunting modes may lead to serious stress responses and confound the prey's behavioral responses to each predator.

Summary: The study investigated individual variations in metabolic rate, locomotion capacity, and hypoxia tolerance in three cyprinid species, and found that high-RMR individuals have high aerobic capacity and good swimming performance. The interspecific differences in swimming performance and hypoxia tolerance among crucian carp, common carp, and qingbo may be due to long-term selection based on their associated flow regimes.

Summary: The study found that the personality of wild fish is influenced by environmental conditions, with populations with higher food resources and flow velocity showing bolder behaviors, while all populations display high sociability. The correlations among personality variables depend on the environmental conditions within populations, suggesting that habitat conditions can shape the personality of fish.

Summary: Learning and memory abilities play important roles in group decision-making in routine activities such as foraging in fish species. This study aimed to investigate the spatial learning ability of juvenile cichlids and the influence of heterogeneity of memory information among group members on group performance. The results showed that individual fish's spatial performance improved significantly during the training period and remained stable after 11 days of detraining. The spatial performance of heterogeneous groups changed linearly with the proportion of trained members. This suggests that cichlids can acquire associative learning information through training and group behavior is not likely determined by minority members in a foraging context.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different diets on the metabolic response, digestive capacity, and growth performance in carnivorous fish. The results showed that the group fed formulated diet had higher metabolic rates, faster digestion, and better growth performance compared to the group fed loach meat. These differences may be attributed to the macronutrient composition and gut microbiota.

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 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.
