Endogenous colony dormancy shapes seasonal cold tolerance in temperate ants
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As eusocial superorganisms, cold‐adapted ants must survive multiple consecutive winters and are shaped by selective pressures acting at both individual and colony‐level.

Does parental angling selection affect the behavior or metabolism of brown trout parr?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The behavior of organisms can be subject to human‐induced selection such as that arising from fishing. Angling is expected to induce mortality on fish with bold and explorative behavior, which are behaviors commonly linked to a high standard metabolic ...

Diagram of intermittent respirometry settings.
While testing prey in respirometry chambers, four predator individuals (largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) or walleye (Sander vitreus)) were gently introduced to swim freely around respirometry chambers in the tank to ensure both visual and ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.

Water temperature, body mass and fasting heat production of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasKnowledge on fasting heat production (HEf) of fish is key to develop bioenergetics models thus improving feeding management of farmed species. The core of knowledge on HEf of farmed, neotropical fish is scarce. This study assessed the effect of body mass

Mitochondrial respiration and characteristics of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy
Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.Skeletal muscles utilize numerous mitochondria for energy production needed during muscle contraction. Mitochondria produce this energy through the electron transport chain. After an injury such as ACL‐injury in typically developing children, there is a reduction in muscle mitochondrial respiration and content.

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.
