The roles of sex, mass and individual specialisation in partitioning foraging-depth niches of a pursuit-diving predator [PDF]

, 2013
Intra-specific foraging niche partitioning can arise due to gender differences or individual specialisation in behaviour or prey selection. These may in turn be related to sexual size dimorphism or individual variation in body size through allometry ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Reconciling Inter- and Intra-Individual Variation in L2 Socio-Pragmatic Development: Intensifier Variation in Spoken German

Languages
This study is the first to scrutinize the rates of, and the lexical diversity in, adjective intensification in second language (L2) German. We additionally attend to the issue concerning whether sociodemographic variables (i.e., length of residence, age,

Intra-individual variation in resting metabolic rate during the menstrual cycle [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2003
Little information exists on the extent of day-to-day intra-individual variation in resting metabolic rate (RMR) in women. The present study has investigated the intra-individual variation in RMR of women during the menstrual cycle. Nineteen women (naturally cycling non-pill users) were recruited to the study.

Chemical evolution of the intra-cluster medium [PDF]

, 2003
The high metallicity of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) is generally interpreted on the base of the galactic wind scenario for elliptical galaxies. In this framework, we develop a toy-model to follow the chemical evolution of the ICM, formulated in ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Inter‐ and intra‐individual variation in the feather coloration of American crows

Journal of Avian Biology
Avian feathers are remarkably diverse in both form and function. Coloration is among the most studied feature of feathers, but we know relatively little about melanin‐based black coloration.

Longitudinal variability of time-location/activity patterns of population at different ages: a longitudinal study in California

Environmental Health, 2011
Background Longitudinal time-activity data are important for exposure modeling, since the extent to which short-term time-activity data represent long-term activity patterns is not well understood.

Microplastic exposure increases predictability of predator avoidance strategies in hermit crabs

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 2020
The contamination of natural systems with plastic debris has become one of the most pressing global environmental issues. Microplastics (MPs) are of particular concern because their ubiquity and small size make them available for ingestion by a range of ...
