Seabirds as environmental indicators: foraging behaviour and ecophysiology of common diving petrels (Pelecanoides urinatrix) reflect local-scale differences in prey availability
Seabird foraging behaviour can reflect prey abundance at sea, and is influenced by stress hormone levels, thus providing a potential indicator of at-sea conditions. Using common diving petrels (Pelecanoides urina...

Thermal plasticity of skeletal muscle mitochondrial activity and whole animal respiration in a common intertidal triplefin fish, Forsterygion lapillum (Family: Tripterygiidae)
Oxygen demand generally increases in ectotherms as temperature rises in order to sustain oxidative phosphorylation by mitochondria. The thermal plasticity of ectotherm metabolism, such as that of fishes, dicta...

Key metabolic enzymes and muscle structure in triplefin fishes (Tripterygiidae): a phylogenetic comparison
Metabolic potential and muscle development were investigated relative to habitat and phylogeny in seven species of New Zealand triplefin fishes. Activity was measured in three principal glycolytic enzymes (lac...
