    • A time-energy analysis of daytime surface activity in degus, Octodon degus 
      Kenagy, G. J.; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo; Nespolo, Roberto F.; Bozinovic, Francisco (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)
      We present an analysis of time and energy allocation in a day-active caviomorph rodent, the degu, Octodon degus, in central Chile. We quantified components of surface activity in the field on a daily basis in individual ...
    • Bioenergetics and intestinal phenotypic flexibility in the microbiotherid marsupial (Dromiciops gliroides) ... 
      Cortés, Pablo A.; Franco, Marcela; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Quijano, Silvia A.; Nespolo, Roberto F. (2011)
      The microbiotherid marsupial Dromiciops gliroides inhabits the temperate forests of the Southern hemisphere, facing seasonal nutritional and energetic bottlenecks due to its apparently facultative insectivory/frugivory. ...
    • Daily and seasonal limits of time and temperature to activity of degus 
      Kenagy, G. J.; Nespolo, Roberto F.; Vásquez Salfate, Rodrigo; Bozinovic, Francisco (Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)
      We present an analysis of behavioral flexibility in a day-active caviomorph rodent, the degu, Octodon degus, in response to temporal (daily and seasonal), spatial, and thermal heterogeneity of its environment. We quantified ...
    • Energetic costs of detoxification systems in herbivores feeding on chemically defended host plants: A ... 
      Castañeda, Luis E.; Figueroa, Christian C.; Fuentes-Contreras, Eduardo; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Nespolo, Roberto F. (2009)
      Herbivorous insects have developed mechanisms to cope with plant barriers, including enzymatic systems to detoxify plant allelochemicals. Detoxification systems may be induced when insects are feeding on plants with ...
    • The interplay between ambient temperature and salt intake affects oxidative status and immune responses in ... 
      Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo; Bozinovic, Francisco; Contreras-Ramos, Carolina; Nespolo, Roberto F.; Newsome, Seth D.; Quirici, Veronica; Maldonado, Karin; Peña-Villalobos, Isaac; Ramirez-Otarola, Natalia; Sanchez-Hernandez, Juan Carlos (Elsevier Inc., 2019)
      © 2019 Elsevier Inc.Physiological traits associated with maintenance, growth, and reproduction demand a large amount of energy and thus directly influence an animal's energy budget, which is also regulated by environmental ...
