... that the solid model slightly overestimates mandibular biomechanical properties, but the pattern of change in biomechanical properties along the mandible remains the same. As such, feeding behavior reconstructions are consistent between the two models and are not improved by computed tomography. Bite force...

A food's nutrient content is a primary driver of animal feeding behavior, so the analysis of an animal's macronutrient intake patterns across a nutritional...

Firstly, triatomines decreased their feeding behavior if substrates spread with quinine or caffeine were detected by external receptors localized exclusively in the antennae. Morphological inspections along with electrophysiological recordings revealed...

To avoid any effects related to food novelty, birds were given red sorghum for the 2 weeks preceding analyses of feeding behavior ( Fig. 5 ). After these 2 weeks, the birds' feeding behavior towards red sorghum was monitored at 35°C and 20°C...

...Aleksey Y. Malyshev; Pavel M. Balaban SUMMARY Beating of cilia lining the foregut of gastropods facilitates the swallowing of food and, therefore, plays a role in feeding behavior. Despite the fact that neural control of feeding is well studied in mollusks, no neurons controlling ciliary beating...
