A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(2016-05)
Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ...
Feeding and osmoregulation in the euryhaline crab Neohelice granulata: Digestive parameter responses
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2019-09)
When a species often experiences variation in its environmental conditions, metabolic flexibility is required. We studied the duration of the digestive cycle and the activity of key digestive enzymes (proteolytic, amylase, ...

Power of Stable isotope techniques to detect size-based feeding in marine fishes
(Inter-Research, 2010-05)
Stable isotope techniques are now the most frequently applied method to investigate size-based variation in fish trophic position (TP), and data suggest changes in TP with body size are common. However, of 131 collated ...
Feeding mechanisms in two treefrogs, Hyla nana and Scinax nasicus (Anura: Hylidae).
(Wiley & Sons Inc, 2004-12)
After the description of the chondrocranium, hyobranchial apparatus, associated musculature, buccal apparatus, buccopharyngeal cavity, digestive tract, and gut contents, it was possible to define the feeding modes of Scinax ...
Foraging behaviour and feeding locations of Rock Shags Phalacrocorax magellanicus from a colony in Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-06)
During 1996 and 1997, foraging Rock Shags Phalacrocorax magellanicus were studied at Punta Loma, Argentina using radio‐transmitters deployed on ten adult shags during the chick‐rearing period. Rock Shags undertook 2.6 ± ...
Variation in parental care in the spectacled tyrant Hymenops perspicillatus is associated with increased nest predation in grassland fragmentsUnterschiede in der Brutpflege beim Brillentyrann steht in Verbindung mit einer erhöhten Nest-Prädationsrate in fragmentiertem Grasland
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-04)
Predation risk on birds is often an important source of natural selection that shapes parental care and may promote behavioral changes. Parents can often estimate certain risks and adjust their behavior to reduce the ...
Association between high-fat diet feeding and male fertility in high reproductive performance mice
(Springer Nature Limited, 2019-12)
The increasing worldwide prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), especially in younger populations, is a risk factor for fertility disorders. However, a direct correlation of MetS with male infertility still remains ...
