Roaring Behavior of Two Syntopic Howler Species (Alouatta caraya and A. guariba clamitans): Evidence Supports the Mate Defense Hypothesis
(Springer, 2012-04)
Long-distance calls are loud vocalizations involved in within and between group communication in animals. These calls may maintain cohesion with group members or communicate the ownership of valuable resources such as ...
Glacier melting and stoichiometric implications for lake community structure: zooplankton species distributions across a natural light gradient
(Wiley, 2013-02)
Glaciers around the globe are melting rapidly, threatening the receiving environments of the world´s fresh water reservoirs with significant changes. The meltwater, carried by rivers, contains large amounts of suspended ...
Intraspecific variability in the basal metabolic rate: Testing the food habits hypothesis
(Univ Chicago Press, 2007-07-01)
Several competing hypotheses attempt to explain how environmental conditions affect mass-independent basal metabolic rate (BMR) in mammals. One of the most inclusive and yet debatable hypotheses is the one that associates ...

A laboratory study on feeding plasticity of the shredder Sericostoma vittatum Rambur (Sericostomatidae)
(Springer, 2007-01-01)
Since litter input and availability of leaves in many streams is highly seasonal in Portugal, we investigated whether Sericostoma vittatum, a typical shredder, was able to grow using alternative food sources. To test this ...

Detrital nutrient content determines growth rate and elemental composition of bromeliad-dwelling insects
(Wiley-blackwellHobokenEUA, 2014)
Food quantity and quality of cassava affected by leguminous residues and inorganic nitrogen application in a soil of low natural fertility of the humid tropics
(Inst Agronomico, 2017-07-01)
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the quality and quantity of biofortified cassava root in a humid tropical environment can be modified with the application of a combination of low- and high-quality ...
Bottom-up effects on a plant-endophage-parasitoid system: The role of flower-head size and chemistry
(Wiley-blackwell Publishing, IncMaldenEUA, 2010)
Comparative basal metabolic rate among passerines and the food habit hypothesis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-05-15)
The food habit hypothesis (FHH) predicts that mass-independent BMR is associated with dietary traits. In
spite of decades of research, the FHH remains controversial, in part because ambiguities surrounding diet
categorization ...
