Taste Preference and Metabolic Rate of Trehalose in Chickens [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science
Trehalose (Tre) is composed of two molecules of D-glucose joined by an α,α-1,1 glucosidic linkage. Because Tre is utilized by the gut microbiome and enhances gut immunity in chickens, it is used as a feed ingredient.

Evolved high aerobic capacity has context-specific effects on gut microbiota

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Gut microbiota is expected to coevolve with the host's physiology and may play a role in adjusting the host's energy metabolism to suit the host's environment.

Clothing Insulation Rate and Metabolic Rate Estimation for Individual Thermal Comfort Assessment in Real Life

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Satisfactory indoor thermal environments can improve working efficiencies of office staff. To build such satisfactory indoor microclimates, individual thermal comfort assessment is important, for which personal clothing insulation rate (Icl) and ...

Individual Variation in Thermal Reaction Norms Reveals Metabolic-Behavioral Relationships in an Ectotherm

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ectothermic organisms respond to rapid environmental change through a combination of behavioral and physiological adjustments. As behavioral and physiological traits are often functionally linked, an effective ectotherm response to environmental ...

Hypothesis and Theory: A Two-Process Model of Torpor-Arousal Regulation in Hibernators

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Hibernating mammals drastically lower their metabolic rate (MR) and body temperature (Tb) for up to several weeks, but regularly rewarm and stay euthermic for brief periods.

Heart rate as a proxy for estimating oxygen consumption rates in loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta)

open access: yesBiology Open, 2022
Heart rates of air-breathing diving animals can change on a short time scale due to the diving response during submergence. Heart rate is used frequently as a proxy for indirectly estimating metabolic rates on a fine time scale.

Nature vs. Nurture: Disentangling the Influence of Inheritance, Incubation Temperature, and Post-Natal Care on Offspring Heart Rate and Metabolism in Zebra Finches

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
A historic debate in biology is the question of nature vs. nurture. Although it is now known that most traits are a product of both heredity (“nature”) and the environment (“nurture”), these two driving forces of trait development are rarely examined ...
