Proteomic analysis of the ATP synthase interactome in notothenioids highlights a pathway that inhibits ceruloplasmin production [PDF]
Antarctic notothenioids have unique adaptations that allow them to thrive in subzero Antarctic waters. Within the suborder Notothenioidei, species of the family Channichthyidae (icefish) lack hemoglobin and in some instances myoglobin too.

Fish muscle: the exceptional case of notothenioids [PDF]
Fish skeletal muscle is an excellent model for studying muscle structure and function, since it has a very well-structured arrangement with different fiber types segregated in the axial and pectoral fin muscles. The morphological and physiological characteristics of the different muscle fiber types have been studied in several teleost species.

On the origin and trigger of the notothenioid adaptive radiation. [PDF]
Adaptive radiation is usually triggered by ecological opportunity, arising through (i) the colonization of a new habitat by its progenitor; (ii) the extinction of competitors; or (iii) the emergence of an evolutionary key innovation in the ancestral ...

Adaptive Radiation in Antarctic Notothenioids [PDF]
Antarctic notothenioids have undergone adaptive radiation in order to survive. Some challenges notothenioids face includes maintaining proper organ function, increased blood viscosity, maintaining appropriate protein levels, and conserving energy. Many of the solutions that the Notothenioidei have evolved to these challenges are considered to be â ...

Molecular pedomorphism underlies craniofacial skeletal evolution in Antarctic notothenioid fishes [PDF]
Background Pedomorphism is the retention of ancestrally juvenile traits by adults in a descendant taxon. Despite its importance for evolutionary change, there are few examples of a molecular basis for this phenomenon.

Evolution of the immune system in Antarctic notothenioids [PDF]
Notothenioids are the most abundant group of teleost fish found in the Southern Ocean. These fish evolved relatively recently from a single benthic ancestor and radiated and expanded in the extreme cold of Antarctica waters and their physiology was adapted accordingly. Surprisingly, little is known about their immune system and how immune defences were

Sex Differentiation and Long-Distance Gene Flow in the Elusive Antarctic Fish <i>Aethotaxis mitopteryx</i>. [PDF]
This genetic study of a rare Antarctic fish, the longfin icedevil (Aethotaxis mitopteryx) investigates population connectivity across the Weddel Sea, revealing little to no differentiation even over vast geographic distances. Unexpectedly, the strongest genetic differentiation is instead observed between male and female fishes, which suggests a ...

Xenobiotic metabolism and its physiological consequences in high-Antarctic Notothenioid fishes. [PDF]
The Antarctic ecosystem is progressively exposed to anthropogenic contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). So far, it is largely unknown if PAHs leave a mark in the physiology of high-Antarctic fish. We approached this issue via two

Productivity and Change in Fish and Squid in the Southern Ocean
Southern Ocean ecosystems are globally important and vulnerable to global drivers of change, yet they remain challenging to study. Fish and squid make up a significant portion of the biomass within the Southern Ocean, filling key roles in food webs from ...
