Why we age

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

High-grain diet and the inclusion of residual frying oil in the feeding of lambs

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2023
In animal production, a large part of financial resources is destined to animal feed, so the use of low-cost diets with maximum production efficiency is crucial. The present study evaluated the effects of a high-grain diet and the use of residual frying

Mule carcass characteristics and meat quality

, 2023
Donkey carcass parameters and donkey meat quality character¬istics have been determined in previous studies, while mule carcass and meat quality traits have scarcely been evaluated. The aim of the present study was to compare the carcass data and meat quality parameters obtained from 10 mules slaughtered, respectively, at an age of 5 ± 1 years and at ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Carcass characteristics of broilers fed enzyme complex

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2015
Enzyme supplementation in diets based on corn and soybean meal can improve the productive performance of broilers. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of different levels of an enzyme complex consisting of phytase, protease, xylanase, ?-glucanase, cellulase, amylase, and pectinase, for diets based on corn and soybean meal,

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
