Seasonal changes in energy allocation to somatic and reproductive body components of the common cold temperature sea urchin Loxechinus albus in a Sub-Antarctic environment
(Springer, 2008-12)
Monthly variations in the somatic indexes and energetic content of organs were investigated in Loxechinus albus from the Beagle Channel. Samples were collected monthly from May 2004 to May 2005. Lantern and test indexes ...
Pattern of energy allocation during the gametogenesis of the asteroid Cosmasterias lurida (Philippi, 1858) (Forcipulatida: Stichasteridae) from the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, Argentina
(Revista de Biología Tropical, 2017-11)
Energy allocation patterns during the reproductive cycle of echinoderms may be determined by the different energy requirements of the organisms. In this study, we describe the energy reserves variation in the gonads, pyloric ...
The effect of diet quality on physiological and life-history traits in the harvestman Pachylus paesslerik
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2007)
The balance between energy acquisition and expenditure is critical to the survival and reproductive success of animals. Here we investigate the long-term effects of diet quality on physiological and life-history flexibility ...
Costs of exploratory behavior: the energy trade-off hypothesis and the allocation model tested under caloric restriction
(Nature, 2020)
In order to maintain the energy balance, animals often exhibit several physiological adjustments when subjected to a decrease in resource availability. Specifically, some rodents show increases in behavioral activity in ...
Temperature and meal size effects on the postprandial metabolism and energetics in a boid snake
(Univ Chicago Press, 2003-03-01)
We investigated the combined effect of meal size and temperature on the aerobic metabolism and energetics of digestion in Boa constrictor amarali. Oxygen uptake rates ((V) over dot o(2)) and the. duration of the digestion ...

Enhancement of microbial motility due to speed-dependent nutrient absorption
(IOP Publishing, 2014-01)
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 ...
Influence of different doses of retinoic acid on cardiac remodeling
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-07-01)
Objective: The role of retinoic acid in promoting postnatal heart alterations is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the cardiac alterations caused by all-trans- retinoic acid (ATRA) in normal adult ...
