Cerebellar Prediction and Feeding Behaviour. [PDF]
Abstract Given the importance of the cerebellum in controlling movements, it might be expected that its main role in eating would be the control of motor elements such as chewing and swallowing. Whilst such functions are clearly important, there is more to eating than these actions, and more to the cerebellum than motor control.

Feeding behaviour of rabbits. [PDF]
As a non-ruminant herbivore, the rabbit has a unique feeding behaviour compared to otherdomestic animals. It belongs to the Lagomorph order (Leporidae family: rabbits and hares;Grassé and Dekeuser, 1955) and, consequently, expresses one main specifiity: caecotrophy.In brief (see details in Chapter 1) caecotrophy is a complete behaviour involving the ...

Validation of automatic monitoring of feeding behaviours in sheep and goats.
Monitoring the feeding and ruminating behaviour of ruminants can be used to assess their health and welfare. The MSR-jaw movement recording system (JAM-R) can automatically record the jaw movements of ruminants.

Specialized specialists and the narrow niche fallacy: a tale of scale-feeding fishes [PDF]
Although rare within the context of 30 000 species of extant fishes, scale-feeding as an ecological strategy has evolved repeatedly across the teleost tree of life.

Brown planthopper (N. lugens Stal) feeding behaviour on rice germplasm as an indicator of resistance. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) is a serious pest of rice in Asia. Development of novel control strategies can be facilitated by comparison of BPH feeding behaviour on varieties exhibiting natural genetic variation, and ...

The homeostatic dynamics of feeding behaviour identify novel mechanisms of anorectic agents.
Better understanding of feeding behaviour will be vital in reducing obesity and metabolic syndrome, but we lack a standard model that captures the complexity of feeding behaviour.
