Summary: Effective management of invasive species requires accurate predictions of their invasion potential in different environments. By considering species’ physiological tolerances and requirements, biophysical mechanistic models can potentially

In mammals, complex dental microwear textures (DMT) representing differently sized and shaped enamel lesions overlaying each other have traditionally been associated with the seeds and kernels in frugivorous diets, as well as with sclerotized insect

Bamboo is an enigmatic forage, representing a niche food for pandas and bamboo lemurs. Bamboo might not represent a suitable forage for herbivores relying on fermentative digestion, potentially due to its low fermentability. To test this hypothesis,

We herein describe a rational design of a heterogeneous catalyst composed of a dinuclear cuprate anion being immobilized electrostatically on one surface of Janus-type nanosheets while the other surface is decorated with highly hydrophobic octyl grou

Fatty Acids of Microbial Origin in the Perirenal Fat of Rats (Rattus norvegicus domestica) and Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus) Fed Various Diets

Guinea pigs are assumed to practice caecotrophy to a higher degree than rats. Studies from leporids suggest that through the practice of caecotrophy, hindgut fermenting species could build up microbial fatty acids (FA) in body tissues. We hypothesize
