Crestani, Ana C. [UNESP]; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]; Fontanella, Antônio B. A. [UNESP]; Herrera M, L. Gerardo; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:45:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; In the Neotropical region, euphonias (Euphonia spp., Fringillidae) are the quintessential example of specialized bird frugivores, making the bulk of feeding visits to certain mistletoes (Phoradendron spp., Santalaceae) and epiphytes in the genus Rhipsalis (Cactaceae), whose fruits have high water and lo...
Meal size and specific dynamic action in the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus (Ser...
Andrade, Denis V. [UNESP]; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. [UNESP]; Abe, Augusto S. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:54:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1997-12-01; We studied the effect of meal size on specific dynamic action (SDA) in the South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus, by measuring oxygen consumption rates (VO2) prior to and after the ingestion of meals ranging from 10-50% of snake's body mass. Regardless of meal size, variation in VO2 with time dur...
Intestinal water absorption varies with expected dietary water load among bats ...
Price, Edwin R.; Brun, Antonio; Gontero-Fourcade, Manuel; Fernández-Marinone, Guido; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. [UNESP]; Karasov, William H.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:01:41Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-11-01; National Science Foundation; Rapid absorption and elimination of dietary water should be particularly important to flying species and were predicted to vary with the water content of the natural diet. Additionally, high water absorption capacity was predicted to be associated with high paracellular nutr...
Physical constraints on thermoregulation and flight drive morphological evoluti...
Rubalcaba, Juan G.; Gouveia, Sidney F.; Villalobos, Fabricio; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. [UNESP]; Castro, Mario G.; Amado, Talita F.; Martinez, Pablo A.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:52:53Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-04-12; SignificanceEnergetic constraints of flight and thermoregulation have long been thought to explain why most bat species are small and live predominantly in warm latitudes. We use physical models to investigate how body size, wing shape, and climate modulate these energetic constraints. Our model predict...
Lead exposure does not affect baseline and induced innate immunity in quails
Melhado, Gabriel [UNESP]; Pedrobom L., Jorge Henrique [UNESP]; Menegário, Amauri A. [UNESP]; Herrera Montalvo, Luis GerardoMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:39:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Lead (Pb) is one of the most common metals found in ecosystems in elevated concentrations derived mainly from anthropogenic activities. Pb toxicity is of special concern in birds due to its capacity for bioaccumulation in the liver, bones, and kidneys causing physiological disruptions. Such disruptions ...
