Communication isnt only the delivery of facts, its also the act of listening.

Behavioural responses to acute warming precede critical shifts in the cellular and physiological thermal stress responses in a salmonid fish (brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis)
From a conservation perspective, it is important to identify when sub-lethal temperatures begin to adversely impact an organism. However, it is unclear whether, during acute exposures, sub-lethal cell...

Killer whales are increasingly seen in the Arctic as sea ice melts. We found 2 highly distinct Arctic populations that appear not to interbreed, and are as genetically distinct as ecotypes elsewhere in the species' range, and appear to be at risk from inbreeding and harvest. 2/3
