Temperature affects everything that an organism does. Although we have an increasingly
sophisticated understanding of evolutionary adaptation to temperature at the molecular level …

We examined published studies relating resting oxygen consumption to body mass and
temperature in post‐larval teleost fish. The resulting database comprised 138 studies of 69 …

Cold adaptation encompasses all those aspects of an organism's physiology that allow it to
live in polar regions. With the exception of the special case of the need to avoid freezing, it is …

It is now clear that hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and nitric oxide (NO) function as signalling
molecules in plants. A wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses results in H 2 O 2 generation, …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting is a firmly established
molecular marker technique, with broad applications in population genetics, shallow …

Stomatal closure in response to the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is mediated by a complex
signaling network involving both calcium-dependent and calciumindependent pathways (…

Species lists have been compiled for all the major groups of Southern Ocean benthic marine
invertebrates, eliminating synonymies where possible and providing a subjective estimate …

Recent research has implicated nitric oxide (NO) in the induction of the hypersensitive
response (HR) during plant–pathogen interactions. Here we demonstrate that Arabidopsis …

Local icosahedral order is found to increase as random hard-sphere packings (one-and two-component)
generated on the computer are densified from the (recently established)‘‘loose …

In recent years, a number of species–energy hypotheses have been developed to explain
global patterns in plant and animal diversity. These hypotheses frequently fail to distinguish …
