Genomic and physiological adaptation to temperature in the invasive golden star runicate (Botryllus schlosseri)
… genetic structure and signatures of local adaptation to temperature. In addition to illustrating the potential for rapid adaptation of thermal tolerance at the genomic level, this chapter demonstrated that the molecular basis of thermal adaptation on either coast is distinct, providing …

Effects of Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia, Acute and Chronic Exercise on Skeletal Muscle Na+,K+ATPase, Buffering Capacity and Plasma Electrolytes in Well-Trained Athletes
… endurance performance. Research on the physiological adaptation of athletes to these interventions has tended to focus on metabolic, haematological and respiratory measures. Consequently, relatively little is known, in well-trained athletes, about the effects of chronic intermittent …

Movement in the architecture of the city: a study in environmental diversity
… favour environmental diversity and a progressive physiological adaptation to avoid discomfort generated by abrupt environmental transients. At the scale of the city, the public and semi-public realms are seen as generators of such diversity. The extent of the transformation of city centre and the …

Molecular Coordination of Skeletal Muscle Capillary Remodeling in Obesity: Implications for Metabolic Homeostasis and Disease
… findings demonstrated that angiogenesis is a physiological adaptation to obesity that is governed by the net-influence of pro- and anti-angiogenic molecular factors. Finally, to determine whether the positive influence of obesity on the skeletal muscle capillary network was beneficial in a …

Nox4 mediates metabolic stress responses
… development. However, ROS are also required for physiological adaptation and many questions still remain regarding their downstream pathways. One significant producer of skeletal muscle ROS with exercise is Nadph oxidase 4 (Nox4). Nox4 is unique compared to other Nox members as it predominantly …

Quantifying uncertainty in computational neuroscience with Bayesian statistical inference
… questions that arise in the analysis of physiological data from tuning curve experiments; in addition, a software toolbox is described that makes these methods widely accessible. In the second project, the model developed in the first project was extended to describe the detailed dynamics …

The Heart of the Rugby Football League Athlete: An Aid to Pre-Participation Cardiac Screening
… The term athletes’ heart (AH) describes the physiological adaptation that occurs from chronic exposure to exercise training however, this process can mimic cardiac remodelling caused by pathological conditions such as cardiomyopathy. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays an integral role …

Evaluating impacts of hydroclimatic extremes on water use efficiency and carbon use efficiency of northern ecosystems
… across most vegetation types, reflecting physiological adaptation, their linear sensitivity to SPEI was consistently weak, highlighting the importance of multiple interacting drivers. RF models demonstrated overall robust predictive performance, especially for CUE, revealing that the …

The Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Stone Oaks (Lithocarpus)
… further testing. Chapter 4 explores the role of physiological adaptation to frost and drought in shaping the current distribution of Lithocarpus. Through a comparative framework using close relatives grown in common conditions, it reveals that Quercus exhibits trait synergies that have enabled …

Systematic and local regulation of angiogenesis, and other adaptations, in response to hypoxia
… chronic responses in the body to enable optimal physiological adaptation to overcome impaired oxygen delivery. Homeostatic regulation mechanisms in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems rapidly act to maintain oxygen supply to sustain normal metabolism; prolonged exposure to a low oxygen …

Nutrient availability modulating physiology and pathogenicity of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i>
… and altered metabolic fluxes. In particular, the physiological versatility of <i>L. pneumophila</i> was demonstrated by a significant decrease in the iron content of biomass (6-fold increase in Y<sub>iron</sub>), coupled with reduced metabolic efficiency (Y<sub>carbon</sub>), in response to …

A cross-sectional study of radial and tibial ultrasonography between different ethnic and physically active groups
… of physical activity with a focus on physiological adaptation of factors associated with osteogenesis, along with more control of groups is required.

THE EFFECT OF PHYSICAL GROWTH, BIOLOGICAL MATURATION AND ETHNICITY ON CARDIAC PRE-PARTICIPATION SCREENING IN MALE PAEDIATRIC ATHLETES
… activity is associated with a number of electrophysiological, structural and functional cardiac adaptations, collectively referred to as the athlete’s heart. In some cases, however, this may mimic the phenotypic expression of varying pathological conditions, often related to SCD/A. Clearly, this …

Performance and fatigue charateristics of paralympic athletes with cerebral palsy
… a group of individuals who have achieved maximal physiological adaptation toward AB levels, the activity generated by both legs was performed towards the capacity of the affected leg. Study four attempted to elucidate explanations for the novel findings in studies 2 and 3 through investigation of …

Aspects of the energetics and renal physiology of some African arid-adapted rodents
The following aspects of physiological adaptation and resource usage were examined in several species of arid-adapted African rodents: The effect of temperature on thermoregulation, metabolism, evaporative water loss and thermal conductance was studied in the North East African pigmy gerbil, …

Gastrocnemius muscle structure and function in habitually resistance-trained marathon runners and traditionally running-trained marathon runners: a comparative analysis
… causes an overload on muscle and stimulates a physiological adaptation to create a training response. Specific adaptations in metabolic and physiological function of a muscle may be further achieved through specificity of exercise training. Resistance training programmes are commonly …
