Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.We demonstrated that Awaous tajasica performs facultative air breathing under experimental conditions of dissolved oxygen limitation, retaining air bubbles in the buccal cavity during gill ventilation. Morpho‐functional evidence indicates the use of atmospheric oxygen as a respiratory support under conditions of low water oxygenation.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Male sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae) produce an adhesive protein called “spiggin” in the tubular epithelial cells of their kidneys, which they use to attach plants or plant debris together and build nesting sites. Spiggin is a glycoprotein excreted in urine.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.Synergistic effects of microplastic and Vibrio harveyi co‐exposure on big‐belly seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis). Seahorses were exposed to microplastics (50 beads/L of 0.2 μm SMP and 1.0 μm LMP) and injected with V. harveyi (1 × 103 CFU/mL).

Interspecific association of brown trout (Salmo trutta) with non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) at the fry stage [PDF]
, 2017 The introduction of non-native brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in Europe has led to displacement and decreasing populations of native brown trout (Salmo trutta).

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Swimming Behavior of the Nudibranch Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2002 Swimming in the nudibranch Melibe leonina consists of five types of movements that occur in the following sequence: (1) withdrawal, (2) lateral flattening, (3) a series of lateral flexions, (4) unrolling and swinging, and (5) termination.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Giant water clusters: where are they from?
, 2018 A new mechanism for the formation and destruction of giant water clusters described in the literature is proposed. We have earlier suggested that the clusters are associates of liquid crystal spheres (LCS), each of which is formed around a seed particle,

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes [PDF]
, 2010 Ever since the first descriptions of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria by Winogradsky in the late 1800s, the metabolic capability of aerobic ammonia oxidation has been restricted to a phylogenetically narrow group of bacteria.
