Body size, energetic and foraging mode of raptors in central Chile - An inference
(Springer-Verlag, 1988)
An inferential analysis of the foraging mode (opportunist or mediate by prey selection) of a taxonomic assemblage of raptors in central Chile was conducted. The analysis of energetic aspects such as daily requirements of ...
Differential scaling of locomotor performance in small and large terrestrial mammals
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2002)
It has been observed that the relationship between
locomotor performance and body mass in terrestrial
mammals does not follow a single linear trend when the entire range of body mass is considered. Large taxa tend to ...
Sex-dependent infection causes nonadditive effects on kissing bug fecundity
(Wiley, 2017-05)
The influence of parasites on host reproduction has been widely studied in natural and experimental conditions. Most studies, however, have evaluated the parasite impact on female hosts only, neglecting the contribution ...
Maternal effects, maternal body size and offspring energetics: A study in the common woodlouse Porcellio laevis
(Elsevier Inc., 2007)
What are the consequences of the natural variation in maternal body mass on offspring energetic performance? How are performance traits related to thermal physiology and energetics phenotypically integrated on offspring? ...
The evolution of brain size and organization in vertebrates. A program for research
(1994)
In vertebrates, brain size variability relates to two main parameters: body size and ecological factors (in particular diet and foraging strategy). It has been considered by many authors that evolutionary brain growth is ...
Diet of juvenile blue sharks Prionace glauca (Linnaeus, 1758) (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) in coastal waters off central-south Chile Dieta de tiburones juveniles Prionace glauca (Linnaeus, 1758) (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) en la zona litora
(2007)
Feeding studies of pelagic sharks in Chilean - waters are rare because of the difficulty in accessing and collecting stomachs. This paper is the first contribution to the knowledge of the diet of juvenile P. glauca (Linnaeus, ...
Divergence in morphometric and life history traits in two thermally contrasting Andean populations of Rhinella spinulosa (Anura: Bufonidae)
(2009)
(1)We studied the variation in characters of two Andean populations of Rhinella spinulosa with different larval thermal regimes as a function of geographic origin and temperature.(2)In both populations, survival and growth ...
Exteroceptive and interoceptive body-self awareness in fibromyalgia patients
(Frontiers Media S. A, 2017)
© 2017 Valenzuela-Moguillansky, Reyes-Reyes and Gaete.Fibromyalgia is a widespread chronic pain disease characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. It substantially affects patients’ relationship with ...
Changes in mouth morphometries as related to the diet of Thyrsites atun (Euphrasen, 1791) from south-central Chile Cambios en la morfometría bucal y su relación con la dieta de Thyrsites atun (Euphrasen, 1791) en el centro-sur de Chile
(2007)
In several species of carnivorous fishes, as they grow, body size and that of the mouth are related positively with prey size, however, the number and biomass of preys consumed by the fish don't present such a clear pattern. ...
A comparison of the size of the urinary bladder of two south american anurans of different habitat
(1972)
1. 1. A comparison is made between the urinary bladder capacities of two South American anurans, the fully aquatic Calyptocephalella caudiverbera and the fully terrestrial toad Bufo arunco. 2. 2. They have a urinary bladder ...
