Reduction of Paraoxonase expression followed by inactivation across independent semiaquatic mammals suggests stepwise path to pseudogenization

A. M. Graham, J. M. Jamison, M. Bustos, C. Cournoyer, A. Michaels, J. S. Presnell, R. Richter, D. E. Crocker, A. Fustukjian, M. E. Hunter, L. D. Rea, C. E. Furlong, W. K. Meyer, N. L. Clark

The paper shows that reduced expression and inactivation of the Pon1 gene in aquatic/semiaquatic mammals precedes pseudogenization, suggesting a stepwise loss of function linked to environmental adaptation.

Oxidative stress is a potential cost of synchronous nesting in olive ridley sea turtles

B. G. Arango, M. Harfush-Melendez, D. C. Ensminger, E. M. Lopez-Reyes, J. A. Marmolejo-Valencia, H. Merchant-Larios, D. E. Crocker, J. P. Vazquez-Medina

This study compares oxidative stress and metabolic markers between olive ridley sea turtles nesting in arribadas and solitarily, finding higher oxidative stress in arribada nesters.

Elephant seal muscle cells adapt to sustained glucocorticoid exposure by shifting their metabolic phenotype

J. M. Torres-Velarde, S. R. R. Kolora, J. I. Khudyakov, D. E. Crocker, P. H. Sudmant, J. P. Vazquez-Medina

This study shows that elephant seal myotubes adapt to sustained glucocorticoid exposure by shifting to glycolysis, altering mitochondrial morphology, and reducing mitochondria-ER interactions without affecting cell viability.

Birth timing after the long feeding migration in elephant seals

R. Condit, R. S. Beltran, P. W. Robinson, D. E. Crocker, D. P. Costa

This study examines the timing of birth in elephant seals, finding that females arrive at breeding beaches 5.5 days before birth, with later arrivals shortening this interval by 1.8 days.
