Published: February 2017

A new species of squat lobster, Uroptychus atlanticus, is described on the basis of a female specimen taken at a depth of 713-841 m in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The new species is readily distinguished from all known species of the genus from the western Atlantic by the very spinose carapace and pereopods, and a transverse row of spines on each of the abdominal tergites 1 and 2.

Introduction: Although reliable new evidence has identified several advantages of resistance training (ResEx) on cardiac performance, the role of this type of training in protecting the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on cardioprotection versus IR-induced injury.

Material And Methods: 60-day-old male Wistar rats ( = 24), weighing 220-240 g, were divided into four groups: Resistance Training (ResEx), Isoproterenol (ISO), Resistance Training + Isoproterenol (ResEx + ISO), and control groups ( = 6 for each).

Marine invertebrates living in oxygen minimum zones (OMZ), where low pO and high pCO conditions co-occur, display physiological mechanisms allowing them to deal with these coupled stressors. We measured aerobic metabolic rate (MR) and the critical oxygen tension (P), and calculated the oxygen supply capacity (α) of both the red (Grimothea monodon) and yellow (Grimothea johni) squat lobsters, under two pCO scenarios (~414 and 1400 μatm). We also measured haemolymph pH, haemocyanin oxygen binding affinity (p), and haemolymph lactate content in both species under normoxia, low pCO hypoxia and high pCO hypoxia.
