Alderman, S.L., Crossley, D.A., Elsey, R.M., Gillis, T.E. (2020) Journal of Comparative Physiology B 190:243-252 Abstract: We recently described lasting changes in the cardiac proteome of American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) reared under hypoxic conditions, that resemble what embryos encounter in natural nests. While these changes were consistent with functional differences in…

Avey, S.R., Kennedy, C.J., Farrell, A.P., Gillis, T.E., Alderman, S.L. (2020) Aquatic Toxicology 221:1054423 Abstract: Canada’s oil sands industry continues to expand and the volume of diluted bitumen (dilbit) transported across North America is increasing, adding to spill risk and environmental contamination. Dilbit exposure is known to cause adverse effects in…
Alderman, S.L., Dilkumar, C.M., Avey, S.R., Farrell, A.P., Kennedy, C.J., Gillis, T.E. (2020) Aquatic Toxicology 221:105419 Abstract: Petrogenic chemicals are common and widespread contaminants in the aquatic environment. In Canada, increased extraction of bitumen from the oil sands and transport of the major crude oil export product, diluted bitumen (dilbit), amplifies…

Alderman, S.L., Crossley, D.A.II., Elsey, R.M., Gillis, T.E. (2019) Scientific Reports 9(1):8592 Abstract: Hypoxic exposure during development can have a profound influence on offspring physiology, including cardiac dysfunction, yet many reptile embryos naturally experience periods of hypoxia in buried nests. American alligators experimentally exposed to developmental hypoxia demonstrate morphological and functional…
