“…Changes in salinity generally induces an increase in the metabolic cost because of an enhanced energetic demand for transmembrane ion transport, synthesis of osmoactive molecules and blood pumping. These cellular and physiological responses have been documented in several taxa including aquatic invertebrates (Fiess et al, 2007; Ramaglia, de Castro, & Augusto, 2018) and vertebrates (Jones, Johnson, & Kelly, 2019; Peña‐Villalobos, Narváez, & Sabat, 2016; Sutton, Turko, McLaughlin, & Wright, 2018; Williard, Harden, Jones, & Midway, 2019), and recently in terrestrial vertebrates (Gutiérrez et al, 2011; Peña‐Villalobos, Valdés‐Ferranty, & Sabat, 2013; Sabat et al, 2017). In the mollusk Mya arenaria , for instance, the increase of salinity affects the respiratory rate (Lasota, Sokolowski, Smolarz, Sromek, & Dublinowska, 2018) and triggers changes in mitochondrial enzyme activities that lead to alterations in energy supply (Sokolova, 2018).…”
