Relationship Between the Fatty Acid Profiles and Gut Bacterial Communities of the Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis) From Ecologically Different Habitats

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The gut microbiota plays an important role in a variety of physiological functions such as intestinal digestion, metabolic homeostasis, immune response, and responses to disease treatment. Whether there is a relationship between gut microbial communities

Effects of water-borne copper on the survival, antioxidant status, metallothionein-I mRNA expression and physiological responses of the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (Decapoda: Brachyura) larvae

Scientia Marina, 2014
The lethal concentration of water-borne copper in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis larvae was tested by exposing the animals to 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8 mg Cu L-1 at 20°C for 96 h.

Two Locomotor Traits Show Different Patterns of Developmental Plasticity Between Closely Related Clonal and Sexual Fish

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
The capacity to compensate for environmental change determines population persistence and biogeography. In ectothermic organisms, performance at different temperatures can be strongly affected by temperatures experienced during early development.

An interaction mechanism for the maintenance of fission–fusion dynamics under different individual densities [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Animals often show high consistency in their social organisation despite facing changing environmental conditions. Especially in shoaling fish, fission–fusion dynamics that describe for which periods individuals are solitary or social have been found to ...

Based on the Metabolomic Approach the Energy Metabolism Responses of Oriental River Prawn Macrobrachium nipponense Hepatopancreas to Acute Hypoxia and Reoxygenation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Hypoxia represents a major physiological challenge for prawns and is a problem in aquaculture. Therefore, an understanding of the metabolic response mechanism of economically important prawn species to hypoxia and re-oxygenation is essential.

Behavioural individuality in clonal fish arises despite near-identical rearing conditions

Nature Communications, 2017
Genetically-identical animals experiencing the same environmental conditions should develop, in theory, identical behavioral traits. However, Bierbachet al.

Hypoxia Induces Changes in AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activity and Energy Metabolism in Muscle Tissue of the Oriental River Prawn Macrobrachium nipponense

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Hypoxia has important effects on biological activity in crustaceans, and modulation of energy metabolism is a crucial aspect of crustaceans’ ability to respond to hypoxia.

Effectiveness of animal conditioning interventions in reducing human–wildlife conflict: a systematic map protocol

Environmental Evidence, 2019
Background Human–wildlife conflict (HWC), is currently one of the most pressing conservation challenges. We restrict ourselves here to wildlife behaviour that is perceived to negatively impact social, economic or cultural aspects of human life or to ...

Freshwater Fish Scale Database

Data in Brief
Scales of the ray finned fishes can be used for multiple purposes. Beside others by their specific structure and elemental composition they are usable for age determination and food-web researches. Additionally, just their presence, absence, shape, location, or numbers could provide a reliable taxonomic information. The fish scales show remarkable size
