... Great Barrier Reef Metabolite Photosynthesis Light availability fundamentally regulates the ecological success of reef-building corals over space and time ( Muir et al., 2015 ). However, corals within shallow reef habitats are exposed to light intensities that continually change over both...

... metabolite levels). Concurrently, we investigated the use of ecological niches via the isotopic signature of red blood cells indicating the trophic position (δ 15 N) and the spatial distribution (δ 13 C) of penguins. Handicapped birds performed ∼70% longer foraging trips and lost ∼60% more body mass than...

... the 4 h experiment. Resting muscle energy metabolite levels in shortnose sturgeon were similar to those of other fish species, but the levels decreased only slightly following the exercise period and recovery occurred within an hour. Under resting conditions, muscle lactate levels were low (<1 μmol g...
