The annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus survives in ephemeral pond habitats by producing drought-tolerant diapausing embryos. These embryos probably experience oxygen deprivation as part of their normal developmental environment. We assessed the anoxia tolerance of A. limnaeus embryos across the duration of embryonic development. More

annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus survives in ephemeral ponds by producing drought-tolerant diapausing embryos (Podrabsky et al 2001). The tolerance of these embryos to environmental perturbations such as anoxia, dehydration, and elevated salinity is orders of magnitude higher than other life history stages of A. More

killifish, Austrofundulus limnaeus, can survive without oxygen for up to two months. Some organisms, known as anaerobic, do not use oxygen. Most of these are bacteria that live in harsh environments, i.e. More

Austrofundulus limnaeus were exposed to three different thermal treatments: a cycling temperature regime of 20-37°C on a daily basis, constant exposure to 20°C, and constant exposure to 37°C. Control fish were kept at 26°C. More
