(American Ornithologist Society, 2001)In vertebrates, enzymatic activity levels in the small intestine are correlated with dietary composition. We examined enzymatic activity levels in juvenile specimens of two flamingo species, Phoenicoparrus andinus and ...
-
(American Ornithologist Society, 2003)Changes in digestive enzyme activity along the intestine may be related to changes in substrate concentration in the intestine. We examined the distribution of digestive enzymes along the intestine in two species of ...
-
(American Ornithologist Society, 1999)We studied the activity of three intestinal membrane-bound digestive enzymes in the Rufous-tailed Plantcutter (Phytotoma rara), one of the smallest species of avian herbivores. We selected the disaccharidases (sucrase and ...
-
(Ecological Society of America, 1997)The degu, Octodon degus (Rodentia, Octodontidae) is a diurnal herbivore inhabiting the semiarid and mediterranean environments of northern and central Chile. In the field, degus are constrained to specific foraging areas, ...

(Elsevier Inc., 2003)We studied the ontogeny of the intestinal brush border disaccharidases sucrase and lactase in the precocial rodent Octodon degus. Sucrase hydrolyze sugars from plants while lactase hydrolyzes sugars from milk. Enzyme ...

(1999)The phenotypic response of digestive enzymes was assessed in two species of rodents with different foods habits. Species were Phyllotis darwini (omnivorous) and Octodon degus (herbivorous). The activity of sucrase, maltase ...
