Digestive Phenotypic Flexibility in Post-Metamorphic Amphibians: Studies on a Model Organism
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2004)
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 ...
Do changes in dietary chemistry during ontogeny affect digestive performance in adults of the herbivorous rodent Octodon degus?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008-11)
We characterize the flexibility in digestive performance in degus (Octodon degus) an herbivorous rodent. We tested the hypothesis that dietary
and physiological-digestive flexibility are correlated. Degus were fed with ...
Between-population differences in digestive flexibility in the olivaceous field mouse
(ELSEVIER GMBH, 2010-08-28)
The flexibility of digestive traits characterizes a standard model of physiological flexibility, demonstrating
that animals adjust their digestive attributes in order to maximize overall energy return. Using an
intraspecific ...
Latitudinal trends in digestive flexibility: testing the climatic variability hypothesis with data on the intestinal length of rodents
(2008)
Flexibility of digestive features can be understood considering the benefits of digestion, which links animal foraging to metabolizable energy and nutrient gain, and its costs, which are partly indexed by digestive tract ...
Digestive flexibility in Neohelice granulatafrom the Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon: Characterization and modulation of key enzymes in hepatopancreas
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2020)
The study of different physiological aspects of the digestive tract (i.e.,components involved at the biochemical level and mechanisms ofmodulation) is extremely relevant for the integrated knowledge of thefunctioning of ...
Consumption and digestion of animal food by rocky intertidal herbivores: an evaluation of digestive flexibility and omnivory in three grazing species
(PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA DE VALPARAISO, 2009)
Gut size flexibility in rodents: what we know, and don't know, after a century of research
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2008)
The effect of short- and long-term fasting on digestive and metabolic flexibility in the Andean toad, Bufo spinulosus
(2009)
Hibernation in ectothermic animals was historically considered as a simple cold-induced torpor state resulting from the inability to maintain a high body temperature at low ambient temperatures. During the last decades ...
Digestive and metabolic flexibility allows female degus to cope with lactation costs
(2008)
Lactation is the most energetically demanding period in the life cycle of female mammals, and its effects on digestive flexibility and the size of internal organs have been extensively studied in laboratory mice and rats ...
