Osmoregulation in Marine Mammals [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2001
SUMMARY Osmoregulation in marine mammals has been investigated for over a century; however, a review of recent advances in our understanding of water and electrolyte balance and of renal function in marine mammals is warranted. The following topics are discussed: (i) kidney structure and urine concentrating ability, (ii) sources of water,

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Expression and localization of Aquaporin 1a in the sea-bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) during ontogeny

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
The successful establishment of a species in a given habitat depends on the ability of each of its developing stages to adapt to the environment. In order to understand this process we have studied the adaptation of a euryhaline fish, the sea-bass ...

Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

The role of sulfur in osmoregulation and salinity tolerance in cyanobacteria, algae, and plants [PDF]

Organosulfur compounds are involved in osmoregulation and salinity tolerance in some cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes. Glycinebetaine, the osmolyte of the halotolerant cyanobacterium, Aphanothece halophytica, requires the sulfonium compound. S-

De Novo Assembly and Characterization of Narrow-Ridged Finless Porpoise Renal Transcriptome and Identification of Candidate Genes Involved in Osmoregulation

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015
During the evolutionary transition from land to water, cetaceans have undergone numerous critical challenges, with osmoregulation being the major one.

Impacts of Salinity on Growth, Physiology and Tissue Integrity of Nile Tilapia: Implications for Coastal Aquaculture Under Climate Change

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is responsible for salinity intrusion in coastal areas, which is significantly threatening the sustainability of aquaculture. This investigation focused on evaluating growth performance, proximate composition, blood morphology and histopathological modifications in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to varying salinity

Ostracods from freshwater and brackish environments of the Carboniferous of the Midland Valley of Scotland : the early colonization of terrestrial water bodies [PDF]

, 2012
The Mississippian Strathclyde Group of the Midland Valley of Scotland yields some of the earliest non-marine ostracods. The succession records shallow marine, deltaic, estuarine, lagoonal, lacustrine, fluvial and swamp environments representing a series ...

Contrasting Osmotic Stress Responses and Provenance Effects on Seed Germination and Seedling Performance in Two Andean Species

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Oreocallis grandiflora was highly drought‐sensitive, whereas Salvia corrugata recovered and showed adaptive traits. Provenance effects were strong in O. grandiflora but weak in S. corrugata. These results reveal species‐ and provenance‐dependent responses to water limitation, highlighting the importance of selecting suitable species and seed sources ...

The bull shark, Carcharhinus feucus (Valenciennes, 1841), from the Usumacinta River, Tabasco, Mexico, with notes on its serum composition and osmolarity

Ciencias Marinas, 1998
Five specimens of the bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, were collected from a freshwater lagoon (2–3 ppt) and the Usumacinta River in Tabasco, Mexico, in May 1993. The serum osmoregulatory status of two individuals was analyzed: a mature 14-year-old male
