In the title complex, [Ni(C8H5Cl2O3)2(H2O)4], the NiII atom (site symmetry ) adopts a slightly distorted NiO6 octa­hedral coordination. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond helps to establish the conformation. In the crystal, further O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules

Bis(2-cyclo­butyl­imino­methyl-4,6-dihydro­seleno­phenolato)zinc(II)

In the title complex, [Zn(C11H12NOSe2)2], the ZnII atom is four-coordinated by two O,N-bidentate Schiff base ligands in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry

Bis{2-[2-(dimethyl­amino)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]-4,6-disulfanylphenolato}cobalt(II) monohydrate

In the title hydrated complex, [Co(C11H15N2OS2)2]·H2O, the CoII atom (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by two O,N,N′-tridentate Schiff base ligands, resulting in a very distorted cis-CoO2N4 octa­hedral geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal, the water mol­ecule (O-atom site symmetry 2) inter­acts with nearby complex mol­ecules by way of bifurcated O—H⋯(O,S) hydrogen bonds

Standard metabolic rate predicts growth trajectory of juvenile Chinese crucian carp (Carassius auratus) under changing food availability

Phenotypic traits vary greatly within populations and can have a significant influence on aspects of performance. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of individual variation in standard metabolic rate (SMR) on growth rate and tolerance to food-deprivation in juvenile crucian carp (Carassius auratus) under varying levels of food availability. To address this issue, 19 high and 16 low SMR (individuals were randomly assigned to a satiation diet for 3 weeks, whereas another 20 high and 16 low SMR individuals were assigned to a restricted diet (approximately 50% of satiation) for the same period. Then, all fish were completely food-deprived for another 3 weeks. High SMR individuals showed a higher growth rate when fed to satiation, but this advantage of SMR did not exist in food-restricted fish. This result was related to improved feeding efficiency with decreased food intake in low SMR individuals, due to their low food processing capacity and maintenance costs. High SMR individuals experienced more mass loss during food-deprivation as compared to low SMR individuals. Our results here illustrate context-dependent costs and benefits of intraspecific variation in SMR whereby high SMR individuals show increased growth performance under high food availability but had a cost under stressful environments (i.e., food shortage)
