(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-05-15)The food habit hypothesis (FHH) predicts that mass-independent BMR is associated with dietary traits. In spite of decades of research, the FHH remains controversial, in part because ambiguities surrounding diet categorization ...
-
(Frontiers media SA, 2017)Many physiological adjustments occur in response to salt intake in several marine taxa, which manifest at different scales from changes in the concentration of individual molecules to physical traits of whole organisms. ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2005)Studies of metabolic capacities in rodents have been largely studied at an inter-specific levels, but physiological capacities of populations belonging to the same species have received lesser attention. Here we studied ...

(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)© 2016 Maldonado, Sabat, Piriz, Bogdanovich, Nespolo and Bozinovic. Food availability varies substantially throughout animals' lifespans, thus the ability to profit from high food levels may directly influence animal ...
-
(Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2014)Due to the higher energy requirements of birds during winter, it is predicted that the activities of metabolic enzymes (e.g., citrate synthase, CS and cytochrome C oxidase, COX) should increase in tandem with increases in ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013)Recent experiments on shorebirds have demonstrated that maintaining an active osmoregulatory machinery is energetically expensive. This may, in part, explain diet and habitat selection in birds with salt glands. However ...

(Springer, 2018)Life in saline environments represents a major physiological challenge for birds, particularly for passerines that lack nasal salt glands and hence are forced to live in environments that do not contain salty resources. ...
