Dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids alter avian metabolism: metabolism and abdominal fat deposition.
The effects of dietary saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the n-3 and n-6 series on weight gain, body composition and substrate oxidation were investigated in broiler… Expand

ROLES OF THE TENT IN BEHAVIORAL THERMOREGULATION OF EASTERN TENT CATERPILLARS
Eastern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma americanuum) are behavioral thermoregulations and achieve higher body temperatures than expected for ectotherms of similar body size. Construction of a communal… Expand

Seasonal and Acute Changes in Adrenocortical Responsiveness in an Arctic-Breeding Bird
The Lapland longspur, Calcarius lapponicus, times its breeding season so that chicks hatch coincident with the brief period of food abundance in the high arctic. This synchronization requires that… Expand

Effects of sublethal fenitrothion ingestion on cholinesterase inhibition, standard metabolism, thermal preference, and prey-capture ability in the Australian central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps,…
The central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) is a medium-sized lizard that is common in semiarid habitats in Australia and that potentially is at risk of fenitrothion exposure from use of the… Expand

Avian Eggs: Thermoregulatory Value of Very High Near-Infrared Reflectance
Studies of the spectral reflectance of the eggs of 25 species of birds from nine families disclosed uniformly high reflectance (often above 90 percent) in the near infrared. This property is… Expand
