Comparative physiology and biochemistry: Challenges for the future

Stream continuum and metabolic rate in the larvae of five species of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera)

“…Finally, this comparative study of the metabolic rate of different species of Hydropsyche clearly shows a relationship between the longitudinal distribution of Hydropsyche species and their metabolic rate However, the understanding of the mechanisms of adaptation to physical factors in the environment remains unclear because this study concerns 'intact organisms", l e , as emphasized by Prosser (1989), those having a high level of biological organisation To be able to explain these mechanisms of adaptation, it is necessary to consider lower levels of biological organisation The companson with the different species of Gammarus suggests that the physiological adaptation to the potamon implies the abihty to live in very variable environmental conditions The response to an increasing environmental variability, could be, as suggested by Zimmermann (1984), the possession of a high degree of genetic polymorphism Thus, in the future, we will seek to verify if polymorphism IS higher m the species of the potamon than those of the rhithron…”

Invasion of microglia/macrophages and granulocytes into the Mauthner axon myelin sheath following spinal cord injury of the adult goldfish, Carassius auratus

“…A comparative approach to the study of regeneration has the potential for discovering both generalities and how different animals have solved the same challenge (Bullock, 2000;Morgan & Shifman, 2014;Prosser, 1989). For example, transcriptional factor networks known to promote peripheral nerve regeneration in mammals have been identified in lamprey after spinal cord injury (Herman et al, 2018).…”

Defining comparative physiology: results from an online survey and systematic review

“…As early as 1979, Yales (29) recognized multiple approaches in CP with the appropriate title "Comparative physiology: compared to what?". In addition, it has been noted that CP research uses species as an experimental variable (9,20), and other definitions focus on evolutionary implications for understanding physiological processes (17). Carey (3) presented several approaches that comparative physiologists take, including comparing physiological diversity among species to reveal physiological principles; identifying physiological solutions to ecological problems that have evolved in diverse groups of animals; investigating physiological adaptations that provide selective advantage to facilitate survival in specific environments (e.g., deserts, high elevation, polar regions); and translating physiological mechanisms evident in free-living species to solve biomedical problems (similar to Krogh's Principle).…”
