High-temperature stress critically challenges cold-water aquaculture; however, the size-dependent molecular mechanisms underlying thermal adaptation in triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of liver tiss...

Metabolomics analysis revealed specific accumulation of amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids and flavonoids in ZD compared with that in BM. The core differential metabolites associated with ZD stress resistance included isoleucine, fumaric acid, raffinose and isovitexin. In...

Aquatic insects are well-adapted to freshwater environments, but metabolic mechanisms of such adaptations, particularly to primary environmental factors (e.g., hypoxia, water pressure, dark light and abundant microbes), are poorly known. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestri...

Combined saline-alkali and cold stresses severely constrain plant growth at middle and high latitudes. Plants have evolved cross-adaptation mechanisms wherein exposure to one stress enhances resistance to another. However, the specific mechanisms driving cross-adaptation between saline-alkali and...

Temperature is a critical environmental factor influencing fish physiology. Eleutheronema tetradactylum is an economically important warm-water species, but its response to long-term cold stress remains unclear. In this study, we exposed juvenile fish to 18 °C for 7 and 14 days and investigated h...

Microalgae are important primary producers and form the basis for the marine food web. As global climate changes, so do salinity levels that algae are exposed to. A metabolic response of algal cells partly alleviates the resulting osmotic stress. Some metabolites involved in the response are well...

The gut microbiota is being increasingly recognized as a pivotal regulator of thermal adaptation in homeothermic rodents. However, it remains unclear whether similar mechanisms operate in other homeothermic species, such as birds, which exhibit higher basal body temperature and limited heat toler...
