Abstract:
... By natural selection, organisms evolve different solutions to cope with extremely cold weather. The emergence of an antifreeze protein gene is one of the most momentous solutions. Antifreeze proteins possess an importantly functional ability for organisms to survive in cold environments and are widely found in various cold-tolerant species. In this review, we summarize the origin of antifreeze pro ...

Abstract:
... Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a dysfunction in protein folding capacity of the ER, is involved in many physiological responses including mammalian reproductive systems. Studies have shown that ER stress interferes with the developmental process of in vitro oocyte maturation and embryo development; however, little is known about its effects on bovine preimplantation embryonic development. In t ...

Abstract:
... The widespread observation that heat tolerance is less variable than cold tolerance (‘cold‐tolerance asymmetry’) leads to the prediction that species exposed to temperatures near their thermal maxima should have reduced evolutionary potential for adapting to climate warming. However, the prediction is largely supported by species‐level global studies based on single estimates of both physiological ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is a potential vector for several arboviruses including dengue and Zika viruses. The species seems to be restricted to subtropical/tropical habitats and has difficulties in establishing permanent populations in southern Europe, probably due to constraints during the winter season. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze the cold tolerance (CT) of Ae. aegypti i ...
