On the intraspecific variability in basal metabolism and the food habit hypothesis in birds
(2010)
The food habits hypothesis (FHH) stands as one of the most striking and often-cited interspecific patterns to emerge from comparative studies of endothermic energetics. The FHH identifies three components of diet that ...

Food selection in an herbivorous rodent: Balancing nutrition with thermoregulation
(Ecological Society of America, 1997)
The degu, Octodon degus (Rodentia, Octodontidae) is a diurnal herbivore inhabiting the semiarid and mediterranean environments of northern and central Chile. In the field, degus are constrained to specific foraging areas, ...
Diet selection of the southern vizcacha (Lagidium viscacia): A rock specialist in north western Patagonian steppe, Argentina
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012-10)
The southern vizcacha (Lagidium viscacia) is a rock specialist that inhabits small colonies in isolated rocky outcrops of northwestern Patagonia. This study analyzes its diet selection in relation to food availability, ...
Digestive morphology and enzyme activity in the Andean toad Bufo spinulosus: Hard-wired or flexible physiology?
(Elsevier Inc., 2005)
Gut plasticity is a trait with implications on animal performance. However, and despite their importance as study models in physiology, research on gut flexibility in amphibians is scarce. In the present work, we analyse ...
Devaluation of low-quality food during early experience by sheep
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-06)
A ruminant's early experience with low-quality food (LQF) is expected to increase its acceptance and preference in adulthood. Contrarily, we found that experienced sheep (ES) exposed to mature oat hay early in life ate ...
