Flying vertebrates have been hypothesized to have a high capacity for paracellular absorption of nutrients. This could be due to high permeability of the intestines to nutrient-sized molecules. We performed intestinal ...

Rapid absorption and elimination of dietary water should he particularly important to flying species and were predicted to vary with the water content of the natural diet. Additionally, high water absorption capacity was ...

This paper proposes a method to determine calcium, magnesium, manganese and zinc in fish feed samples using ultrasound in the analyte extraction process, and subsequent quantification by flame atomic absorption spectrometry ...

Water-soluble nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine via transcellular and paracellular mechanisms. Based on a few previous studies, the capacity for paracellular nutrient absorption seems greater in flying mammals ...

Dynamics of nutrient uptake and partition in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) fertilization requires detailed information for the optimization of nutrient management. Sound economic and environmental nutrient management ...

Marine microorganisms often reach high swimming speeds, either to take advantage ofevanescent nutrient patches or to beat Brownian forces. Since this implies that a sizable part oftheir energetic budget must be allocated ...

This work aimed to evaluate root growth, shoot development and nutrient absorption efficiency by rice cultivars Caiapo and Maravilha as affected by lime application. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with ...
