The 7th Intercongress Symposium of the AOSCE will be held at the National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung, Taiwan from March 18 (Tuesday) to 23 March (Sunday), 2014. Our AOSCE meetings provide fantastic opportunities not only to exchange and share research information, discoveries and advancements, but also provide us the chance to network with our colleagues and build new friendships. This symposium with 127 papers in total covers all the areas of the endocrinology and physiology in the comparative aspects. The symposium will provide a great opportunity for endocrinologists to share their ideas/experiences and to discuss the various challenges that are being faced in this field. It is also a good opportunity to see how various collaborations can make significant contributions to our science field. The 7th AOSCE Intercongress symposium being held in Taiwan will provide an excellent chance to not only participate in the congress but also to visit our NTOU campus and enjoy the cultures that is the essence of Taiwan. You will be able to tour the city of Keelung and Taipei as well as visit the historical town of Taiwan amongst other interesting things. We appreciated the financial supports from the National Science Council (Ministry of the Science and Technology, Taiwan) and the special assistance from The Center of Excellence for the Oceans of National Taiwan Ocean University. We look forward to seeing you here in Taiwan and anticipate a great scientific interaction and joyful stay. Ching-Fong Chang, Ph. D.

When we were given the opportunity to conduct The baseline study for Thane creek” we felt blessed to learn more about this unique ecosystem the largest creek from asia. This study was possible due to Mr. N Vasudevan, IFS, CCF, Mangrove cell, Maharashtra whose vision for the mangrove habitats in Maharashtra has furthered the cause of conservation. Hence, we thank him for giving us this opportunity to be a part of his larger goal. The present study involved interactions with a number of research institutions, educational institutions, NGO’s and community, all of whom were cooperative in sharing information and helped us. Most important was the cooperation of librarians from all the institutions who went out of their way in our literature survey.

This study examined the relationship between prolonged (5 weeks) exposure to a Movement range of temperatures (22, 25, 28, or 32 °C) on oxygen uptake rate and movement behaviours (i.e., thermo- Oxygen consumption regulation and emergence) in a common amphibious fish, the barred mudskipper (Periophthalmus argentilnea- Metabolism tuis). At the highest temperature examined (32 °C, approximately 5 °C above their summer average tempera- Emergence tures), barred mudskippers exhibited 33.7–97.7% greater oxygen uptake rates at rest (ṀO2Rest), emerged at a higher temperature (CTe; i.e., a modified critical thermal maxima (CTMax) methodology) of 41.3 ± 0.3 °C re- lative to those maintained at 28, 25, or 22 °C.

FANGUE University of California, Davis, Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, California, USA THERESA F. DABRUZZI Saint Anselm College, Department of Biology, Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Abstract— Oxygen uptake rates in air and water were measured at 26.0 and 32.0°C for common mudskipper Periophthalmus kalolo collected from sun-exposed mudflats, and barred mudskipper Periophthalmus argentilineatus taken from shaded mangal zones on Hoga Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Mass-adjusted oxygen consumption rates between mudskippers were statistically similar, with both species exhibiting higher uptake in air than water. Periophthalmus kalolo at 26.0 and 32.0°C had respective uptake values of 0.295 and 0.358 mg g(0.75)−1 hr−1 in air, and 0.198 and 0.241 mg g(0.75)−1 hr−1 in water. Periophthalmus argentilineatus at 26.0 and 32.0°C had oxygen uptake values of 0.262 and 0.343 mg g(0.75)−1 hr−1 in air, and 0.199 and 0.246 mg g(0.75)−1 hr−1 in water. While metabolic rates increased significantly in both species following an acute increase in media temperature, the change was not large, indicating a reduced metabolic response to increasing environmental temperatures. Respective temperature quotients calculated from aerial and aquatic metabolic rate data were 1.38 and 1.39 for P.

To date, a total of 50 mammal species, 139 bird species, 60 herpetofauna species, 46 freshwater fish species, 184 butterfly species and 223 tree species have been detected in the study area. - This diversity is remarkably representative of species assemblages across Sulawesi as a whole, given the size of the study area. Buton comprises only around 3% of the total land area of the Sulawesi sub- region, but 62% of terrestrial birds, 42% of snakes and 33% of butterflies known to occur in the region have been found here. - Faunal groups in the forests of Buton also display high incidence of endemism; 83% of native non- volant mammals,
