The effects of biting and pulling on the forces generated during feeding in the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
In addition to biting, it has been speculated that the forces resulting from pulling on food items may also contribute to feeding success in carnivorous vertebrates.

Intervalo e intensidade de desfolhação nas taxas de crescimento, senescência e desfolhação e no equilíbrio de gramíneas em associação Interval and intensity of defoliation on the growth, senescence and defoliation fluxes and equilibrium of associated grasses

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2002
O experimento foi realizado no INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) em Theix, França. Duas gramíneas (azevém perene e festuca)foram semeadas em caixas (0,13 m²) e submetidas a três intervalos (3,5, 7 e 14 dias) e três intensidades (160 ...

Comportamento ingestivo e desempenho de ovinos em pastagem de azevém anual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) com diferentes massas de forragem Ingestive behaviour and performance of sheep grazing Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) pasture with different herbage masses

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2007
Objetivou-se avaliar o comportamento ingestivo e o desempenho de ovinos em pastagem de azevém anual (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) sob pastejo contínuo e com diferentes massas de forragem: baixa: 1.000 a 1.200 kg/ha MS; intermediária: 1.400 a 1.600 kg/ha MS ...

Strong positive allometry of bite force in leaf-cutter ants increases the range of cuttable plant tissues

bioRxiv, 2023
Atta leaf-cutter ants are the prime herbivore in the Neotropics: differently-sized foragers harvest plant material to grow a fungus as crop. Efficient foraging involves complex interactions between worker-size, task-preferences and plant-fungus ...

Comportamento ingestivo de ovelhas e cordeiras em pastagem de azevém-anual sob níveis crescentes de suplementação Ingestive behavior of ewes and ewe lambs on Italian ryegrass pasture under increasing supplement levels

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008
Avaliou-se o comportamento ingestivo de ovelhas em lactação e cordeiras nos períodos pré e pós-desmama recebendo quatro níveis de suplemento (0; 0,5; 1,0 ou 1,5% do peso vivo), mantidas em pastagem de azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) sob pastejo contínuo,

Ontogenetic changes in bite force and gape in tufted capuchins.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023
Bite force and gape are two important performance metrics of the feeding system, and these metrics are inversely related for a given muscle size because of fundamental constraints in sarcomere length-tension relationships. How these competing performance

Relações planta-animal em ambiente pastoril heterogêneo: processo de ingestão de forragem Plant-animal relationships in pastoral heterogeneous environment: process of herbage intake

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009
Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da estrutura de uma pastagem nativa nos parâmetros que compõem o processo de ingestão de forragem de ovelhas e bezerras em pastejo, foram estabelecidas quatro alturas de pasto (4, 8, 12 e 16 cm), em delineamento ...

Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) use among household members for protection against mosquito bite in Mogadishu districts

PLOS Global Public Health, 2023
Understanding long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) utilization is important in monitoring and quantifying the impact of past and current prevention and control efforts of malaria. A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 409 households in
