Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAdults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

The effect of oil palm-dominated landscapes on the home range and distribution of a generalist species, the Asian water monitor. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We use the Asian water monitor lizard as a model species to understand how oil palm‐dominated landscapes may alter natural patterns of home range in generalist species. We described how relevant is the role of the natural forest around (and within) oil palm plantations as source of protection and to facilitate the dispersion of the population within ...

Purification, characterization and molecular cloning of the major chitinase from Tenebrio molitor larval midgut [PDF]
, 2006 Insect chitinases are involved in degradation of chitin from the exoskeleton cuticle or from midgut peritrophic membrane during molts. cDNAs coding for insect cuticular and gut chitinases were cloned, but only chitinases from moulting fluid were purified
