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 ...
Gut Size Flexibility in Rodents: what we know, and don't know, after a century of research
(2008)
Phenotypic plasticity comprises a central concept in the understanding of how organisms interact with their environment, and thus, is a central topic in ecology and evolution. A particular case of phenotypic plasticity is ...
Gut microbes limit growth in house sparrow nestlings (Passer domesticus) but not through limitations in digestive capacity
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
Recent research often lauds the services and beneficial effects of host-associated microbes on animals. However, hosting these microbes may come at a cost. For example, germ-free and antibiotic-treated birds generally grow ...

Fish gut content from biological collections as a tool for long-term environmental impact studies
(2018-06-01)
Most of the world’s fish fauna is suffering from different types of human impacts and new conservation tools are required. The fish diet analysis is a tool that has been used to evaluate degradation processes of aquatic ...
First-feeding of hake (Merluccius hubbsi) larvae and prey availability in the North Patagonian spawning area
(Federal Research Centre for Fisheries, 2000-12)
The diet of Merluccius hubbsi first-feeding larvae was analysed and related to food availability in stratified waters of the Patagonian spawning area. The gut contents of small larvae ranging from 2 to 4 mm SL, collected ...
