On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Hemocyanins (Hcs) are copper-containing oxygen carriers dissolved in the blood of
mollusks and arthropods. Native arthropod Hcs are hexamers or multihexamers made up of …

Dosidicus gigas is a large, metabolically active squid that migrates across a strong oxygen

1. An increase in temperature between 5 and 15C resulted in progressive increases in
oxygen consumption (M o 2) and in the rates of heart beat and scaphognathites. Exposure to …

The responses of estuarine invertebrates to hypoxic conditions are well established.
However, many studies have investigated hypoxia as an isolated condition despite its …

When the blood of American horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) is extracted to create

Megaleledone senoi and of the eurythermal cuttlefish Sepia officinalis was analyzed by …

The Southern Rock Lobster Jasus edwardsii is a commercial species often shipped in air.
Respiratory gas transport, haemocyanin function and acid–base balance were assessed …

Transparency is an effective form of camouflage, but it must be present throughout the entire
volume of an animal to succeed. Certain environmental stressors may cause physiological …
