We show that osmoregulatory capacity, rather than osmoconformity, has evolved independently in these different lineages.

Depression of the osmoregulatory function of the kidneys had the same direction.

Several growth parameters as well as osmoregulatory and metabolic variables were assessed.

Therefore, osmoregulatory capacity may mediate habitat segregation amongst congeners across the salinity gradient.

Osmoregulatory processes are designed to maintain cell turgor, hence ensuring proper conditions for bacterial growth.

Jacks appeared to regain osmoregulatory homeostasis faster than full-size males, and they had higher ventilation rates at 1 h post-exercise.
