Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Pigmentation disorders in three specimens of spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias Linnaeus, 1758, from the Gulf of Venice, northern Adriatic Sea

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study reports three cases of pigmentation disorders in Squalus acanthias from the Gulf of Venice. Two specimens exhibited spotless phenotypes, whereas one exhibited hypermelanism. Morphological assessments were conducted for two individuals, alongside genetic analysis of mitochondrial genes to determine phylogeographic relationships. Both

Effects of Ceiling Fans on Self‐Reported Symptoms and Mood‐State in Bed‐Resting Older Adults Exposed to Indoor Overheating

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While fans are recommended for cooling at temperatures ≤ 40°C, the extent to which ceiling fans mitigate perceptual and physiological strain in older adults exposed to warm indoor environments (~31°C [87.8°F]) remains unclear. Methods This follow‐up analysis of our randomized study used validated questionnaires to evaluate effects ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.
