The Influence of oral environment on diet choices in goats: a focus on saliva protein composition [PDF]

, 2012
There is ample evidence that ruminants are capable of making choices between different foods that provide a more balanced diet that would be obtained by eating at random.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

An expression atlas of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors identifies a molecular basis of carbonation sensing

Nature Communications, 2018
Little is known about the role of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors (IRs) in insect taste. Here the authors characterise the expression pattern of IRs in the Drosophila gustatory system and highlight the role of one receptor, IR56d, in the detection

Neural Dynamics Underlying Impaired Autonomic and Conditioned Responses Following Amygdala and Orbitofrontal Lesions [PDF]

, 2007
A neural model is presented that explains how outcome-specific learning modulates affect, decision-making and Pavlovian conditioned approach responses. The model addresses how brain regions responsible for affective learning and habit learning interact ...

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Ionotropic receptors mediate arachidic acid perception and food avoidance behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Molecules and Cells
: Chemosensory functions are essential for animals to distinguish between nutritious and harmful compounds. Fatty acids are vital dietary components, but their taste perception mechanisms remain poorly understood.
