Anatomy and Histology of the Midgut of Atopozelus opsimus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopozelus opsimus Elkins, 1954 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) preys on forest and agricultural pests but also feeds on extrafloral nectar; however, its alimentary canal is poorly understood. The aim was to describe the anatomy and histology of the A. opsimus midgut. The alimentary canal of female and male A.

Using Long‐Term Monitoring Data to Assess Temporal Patterns in Fish Community Assemblages in Florida Lakes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an effort to increase the relevancy of fish community data for management, we used fish community data to conduct a statewide assessment of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources and compare the relationships between environmental factors and freshwater fish communities over time.

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics

Ibis, EarlyView.
Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...

An experimental test of state–behaviour feedbacks: gizzard mass and foraging behaviour in red knots [PDF]

, 2017
1. Animals frequently exhibit consistent among-individual differences in behavioural and physiologicaltraits that are inherently flexible. Why should individuals differ consistently in theirexpression of labile traits?

Diet of juvenile skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris: Ontogenetic shifts, predator–prey size ratios and mouth gape allometry

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris inhabits Gulf of Mexico drainages, primarily the Mississippi River Basin, and estuarine environments in the Gulf of Mexico. The trophic ecology of the skipjack herring is poorly understood, therefore we quantified the length, mouth gape and gut contents of juvenile skipjack herring from the Mississippi ...

Input and output of energy in processing gizzard pickle [PDF]

, 1995
Data were collected from seven replicates to quantify the input of commercial energy in manual processing of oil based (OB) as well as vinegar-based (VB) chicken gizzard pickles and output of caloric values from the products was calculated.

Evaluation of particle size and feed form on performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, and gastrointestinal tract development of broilers at 39 d of age

Poultry Science
: The objective of this study was to evaluate combined effects of corn particle size and feed form on performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, and gastrointestinal tract development of broilers from 1 to 39 d of age. A total of 1,800

Spiralitermes jurupari, a New Genus and Species of Soldierless Termites (Blattodea: Termitidae) From the Amazon Rainforest

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The soldierless termites of Apicotermitinae exhibit highly varied digestive tract morphology, with the first proctodeal segment being one of the most commonly used features in genus diagnosis. In this study, we describe Spiralitermes jurupari Almeida‐Azevedo & Azevedo gen. et sp. nov., from the Amazon Rainforest.

Effects of a Whole-grain Paddy Rice Diet on the pH Distribution in the Gizzard and Retention Time of Digesta in the Crop of Broiler Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2016
We previously reported that a diet containing 65% paddy rice suppressed the colonization of Campylobacter jejuni in the cecum of broiler chicks, suggesting that this type of diet has positive effects on upper gastrointestinal tract function in broilers.

Nutritional and Performance Effects of Partial Replacement of Maize With Cassava Root (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Meal in Broiler Diets

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Partial replacement of maize with cassava root meal (CRM) improved growth performance, carcass traits, antioxidant activity, meat quality, and sensory acceptability in broiler chickens. Among all treatments, 10% CRM supplementation showed optimal feed efficiency, water‐holding capacity, and antioxidant status without adverse health effects, indicating ...
