Genomic Selection of Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea) with a High Plant Protein Diet Enhances the Growth Performance of Offspring
Fishmeal is over-represented in the diets of large yellow croaker ( Larimichthys crocea ), and this farming mode, which relies heavily on fishmeal, is...

Latitude, altitude and human disturbance drive changes in the diet of Geoffroy’s cat
Mammalian carnivores exert direct and indirect effects on communities through top-down control and trophic ecology studies are helpful to understand...

Tree diversity mediates individual diet specialization of the maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus)
Individual diet specialization is commonly found in generalist species but has been little studied in folivore mammals. Empirical evidence shows that...

Comparative analysis of mite genomes reveals positive selection for diet adaptation
Diet is a powerful evolutionary force for species adaptation and diversification. Acari is one of the most abundant clades of Arachnida, exhibiting...

Winter diet composition of Himalayan serow Capricornis sumatraensis thar in Bani Wildlife Sanctuary: implications for the conservation of Quercus semecarpifolia forest
Himalayan serow ( Capricornis sumatraensis thar ), a subspecies of the mainland serow is classified as vulnerable according to IUCN. Although the...

Elucidating the role of artificial diet on protease enzyme activity in larval midgut of Helicoverpa armigera as influenced by modification of artificial diet by Cry1Ac toxin
Digestive midgut protease activity in fifth instar larvae (L 5 ) of Helicoverpa armigera was investigated under controlled conditions, where, an...

Ecological Consequences of Diet Composition
In this chapter, we learn more specifically about who penguins’ competitors are, whether they are commercial fishing enterprises, other upper food...

Shape and Size Variation in Elapid Snake Fangs and the Effects of Phylogeny and Diet
Recent studies have found correlations between the shape of snake teeth/fangs and diet. These studies were done at a very broad phylogenetic scale,...

Flexibility in the Diet and Feeding Ecology of Nocturnal and Cathemeral Aotus
Current evidence indicates that owl monkeys (Aotus spp.) have species-rich, flexible diets. They can switch resources seasonally, consume ephemeral...

Diet switch pre-vaccination improves immune response and metabolic status in formerly obese mice
Metabolic disease is epidemiologically linked to severe complications upon influenza virus infection, thus vaccination is a priority in this...

Diet, Dentition, and Jaw Shape in Aotus
Early research hypothesized that Aotus was a member of a specialized guild of hard-fruit and seed-eating “sclerocarpic harvesters” based largely on...

Diet color affects female preference for mate color in the guppy Poecilia reticulata
It has been argued that a preexisting sensory bias for food color influences female mate preference for male ornament color. However, the effect of...

Fasting-mimicking diet remodels gut microbiota and suppresses colorectal cancer progression
The progression of colorectal cancer is closely associated with diet. Fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is a promising type of dietary intervention that...

Diet evolution of carnivorous and herbivorous mammals in Laurasiatheria
BackgroundLaurasiatheria contains taxa with diverse diets, while the molecular basis and evolutionary history underlying their dietary...

Linking diet switching to reproductive performance across populations of two critically endangered mammalian herbivores
Optimal foraging theory predicts that animals maximise energy intake by consuming the most valuable foods available. When resources are limited, they...

Diet habits and trophic ecology of Rio Grande Sucker and Rio Grande Chub
Freshwater fishes are among the most imperiled organismal groups in the world and efforts to conserve many species are hindered by a lack of basic...
