Parental child-feeding strategies in relation to Dutch children's fruit and vegetable intake [PDF]
, 2009 Objective: To identify parental child-feeding strategies that may increase children's fruit or vegetable intake, since the relationship between these strategies and children's intake has never been investigated for fruit and vegetables as two separate ...

FEEDING PREFERENCES OF THE INVASIVE CRAYFISH, PROCAMBARUS CLARKII [PDF]
Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture, 2007 This laboratory study analyzes feeding preferences of a crayfish species with high invasive potentials, the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii. We first conducted a series of multiple-choice tests among fresh plants (3 tests, one per each of three seasons, i.e. spring, summer, and autumn) and animals (1 test in summer). In the first tests, crayfish

The impact of host species and vector control measures on the fitness of African malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2013 Many malaria vector mosquitoes in Africa have an extreme preference for feeding on humans. This specialization allows them to sustain much higher levels of transmission than elsewhere, but there is little understanding of the evolutionary forces that ...
