We are pleased to announce the 3rd International Symposium of Environmental Physiology of Ectotherms and Plants (ISEPEP3) to be held in Tsukuba on August 24-28, 2009. Laboratory of Environmental Physiology and Aquatic Toxicology, McMaster University, Canada. Physiological basis for high CO2 tolerance in marine ectothermic animals: pre-adaptation through lifestyle and ontogeny? Initially, the report was greeted with skepticism, but that skepticism is giving way to guarded excitement. Doctor Nigel Andrew has helped create the course and says he is really excited to maximise the advantage of all the courses offered at the University. Designing an environment to suit animals' psychological and physiological needs would be far preferable to the minimalism, otherwise known as “standardization,” that is currently employed. This new text provides a fresh approach to the subject of animal physiology, truly integrating comparative and environmental aspects for the first time. (3) Several studies cited throughout the report revealed “metabolic, physiological and immunological responses” in animals exposed to GMO feed. Heinemann concluded that the cumulative strength of the data for positive detections “leave me no reasonable uncertainty that GM plant material can transfer to animals exposed to GM feed in their diets or environment and that there can be a residual difference in animals or animal-products as a result of exposure to GM feed”. Research Interests & Activities:Environmental physiology and aquatic toxicology of aquatic animals. Tsukuba is located about 50 km north east of Tokyo and 40 ISEPEP arose by the amalgamation of two previous series of meetings: the International Symposium on the Cold Hardiness of Animals and Plants and the European Workshop on Invertebrate Ecophysiology. Relevance of animal results to human physiology. "Kisspeptin likely plays an integral role in coordinating seasonal reproduction in a wide range of animals." Kisspeptin joins a select few proteins believed to act as switches that connect environmental changes to a physiological response.
