Increased pressure, associated with diving, can alter cell function through several mechanisms and has been shown to impact immune functions performed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in humans. While marine mammals possess specific adaptations which protect them from dive related injury, it is unknown how their immune system is adapted to the challenges associated with diving. The ...

background: probiotics, in form of microbial supplements, are known to be a suitable alternative for antibiotics and can affect the health indicators of host. objectives: the present study was conducted to assess the combined effects of dietary autochthonous saccharomyces cerevisiae and aspergillus niger on haematological and serumbiochemicalparameters of beluga sturgeon (huso huso) juveniles. ...

Ecological mismatches between reproductive events and seasonal resource peaks are frequently proposed to be a key driver of population dynamics resulting from global climate change. Many local populations are experiencing reduced reproductive success as a consequence of mismatches, but few mismatches have led to species-level population declines. To better understand this apparent paradox, we i...
