Editorial: Rising stars in aquatic physiology: 2022

Abstract

Promoting and visualizing cutting-edge research from young generations is the cornerstone of our academic environment. Under this scenario, this Research Topic aims gathering innovative research studies on aquatic physiology, studies that range from ecological field studies focused on how ocean acidification might affect cleaning fish services in reefs (Paula et al.) to molecular biology studies dedicated to the characterization of genes involved in longevity in two molluscan species (Xu et al.) and cortisol receptors expression in a teleostean fish (Vallejos-Vidal et al.). Additionally, a fourth manuscript has been published in this Research Topic, a very interesting study describing how parental metabolite provisioning is directed to offspring (both spermatozoa and developing embryos) in an elasmobranch lecithotrophic viviparous species (Wosnick et al.).
