DEHYDRATION ALTERS BEHAVIORAL THERMOREGULATION AND THE GEOGRAPHY OF CLIMATIC VULNERABILITY IN TWO AMAZONIAN LIZARDS.

Dehydration alters behavioral thermoregulation and the geography of climatic vulnerability in two Amazonian lizards.

High temperatures and low water availability often strike organisms concomitantly.Observing how organisms behaviorally thermohydroregulate may help us to better understand their climatic vulnerability.This is especially important for tropical forest lizards, species that are purportedly under greater climatic risk.Here, we observed the influence Ev

Physiology of the volume-sensitive/regulatory anion channel VSOR/VRAC: part 2: its activation mechanisms and essential roles in organic signal release

Abstract The volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying or Monitor brackets volume-regulated anion channel, VSOR/VRAC, which was discovered in 1988, is expressed in most vertebrate cell types, and is essentially involved in cell volume regulation after swelling and in the induction of cell death.This series of review articles describes what is already k
