The olfactory coreceptor IR8a governs larval feces-mediated competition avoidance in a hawkmoth

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Finding a suitable oviposition site is a challenging task for a gravid female moth. At the same time, it is of paramount importance considering the limited capability of most caterpillars to relocate to alternative host plants. The hawkmoth,

Identification of Host-Specific Bacteroidales 16S rDNA Sequences from Human Sewage and Ruminant Feces [PDF]

, 2011
The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order

Lipid Extraction from Mouse Feces [PDF]

BIO-PROTOCOL, 2015
The analysis of feces composition is important for the study of energy metabolism, which comprises various measurements of energy intake, energy expenditure, and energy wasting. The current protocol describes how to measure energy-dense lipids in mouse feces using a modification of the method proposed by Folch et al. (1957).

Consecutive fecal microbiota transplantation for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a randomized controlled trial

Gut Microbes
The gut microbiota is increasingly considered a contributory factor in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This double-blind RCT evaluated the effect of three consecutive fecal microbiota transplantations (FMT) on hepatic ...
