Globally, anthropogenic forces are causing the osmolality (concentration of dissolved solutes) of aquatic environments to increase, with the salinisation of freshwater bodies of particular concern. With rapid increases in salinity in freshwater environments becoming an increasing threat to biota, research is needed to determine the adaptive ability of individual species. Whilst the responses of whole organisms to changing environmental osmolality have been extensively studied, the responses of sperm are mostly unknown. In externally fertilising species, the osmolality of the fertilisation medi...

Successful conservation of threatened species and ecosystems in a rapidly changing world requires scientifically sound decision-making tools that are readily accessible to conservation practitioners. Physiological applications that examine how plants and animals interact with their environment are now widely used when planning, implementing and monitoring conservation. Among these tools, stable-isotope physiology is a potentially powerful, yet under-utilized cornerstone of current and future conservation efforts of threatened and endangered plants. We review the underlying concepts and theory ...
