Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Euryhaline fishes can perceive and compensate for changes in environmental salinity. Osmosensing is the physiological process of perceiving a change in environmental salinity. Osmosensors are molecules that mediate such perception by having two critical properties: their conformation depends directly (ionic, osmotic, and water activity effects) or indirectly (macromolecular crowding, cytoskeletal strain, macromolecular damage) on salinity; upon salinity-induced conformational change they alter signal transduction pathways that control osmoregulatory effector mechanisms. At the organismal level, specialized osmoreceptor cells monitor body fluid osmolality, and perhaps external salinity, to provide feedback to maintain osmotic homeostasis. At the cellular level, molecular osmosensors control intracellular signaling pathways needed for cell-type specific (compensatory) responses during osmotic stress. The interaction of multiple osmosensory elements at both levels converges into a specific set of signals that encodes information on environmental salinity, ionic composition, and salinity change. This chapter reviews the main elements and principles of osmosensing in euryhaline fishes.
