Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) Regulates 5β‐Reductase (AKR1D1) Expression in Avian Embryos: Implications for Yolk Steroid Metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.

Tracking the Pulse of the Dunes: Seasonal Metabolic Responses of Liolaemus arambarensis to Climatic Variability

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seasonal environmental fluctuations profoundly influence ectothermic vertebrates, regulating their physiology, metabolism, and life cycles. This study investigated the metabolic and morphometric seasonal dynamics of the subtropical sand lizard Liolaemus arambarensis, an endangered species endemic to the coastal dunes of southern Brazil.

Demonstration, validation, and application of hyperspectral microscopy for the collection of cyanobacterial spectral signatures

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.
