Abstract Phylogenetic proximity suggests some degree of diet similarity among species. Usually, studies show that species coexistence is allowed by partitioning food resources. We evaluate how visually oriented piscivorous fishes (Characiformes) share prey before and after building the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) in Madeira River (Brazil), largest muddy-water tributary Amazon ...

Dietary study of carnivores has garnered a great deal attention for very long time since it provides information comprehending ecological processes and tracking the economic effects animals on food production. Few studies reported alternative prey that is detrimental to production, such as rodents insects, in addition numerous livestock predation. Therefore, this aims provide diet composition o...

hSTRACT.-htomatk cameras were used to record adult red-cockaded woodpecker (pi-coides borealis) nest visits with food for nestlings. Diet of nestlings on or near an old-growth longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) remnant in southern Georgia was compared to that in longleaf pine stands established on old farm fields in western South Carolina. Diets of nestlings were expressed as percent nest visits a...

Reconstructing diet in Andean populations is complicated by ecological complexity and by large-scale population movements and trade networks during the period of imperial rule. It is therefore more difficult to reconstruct dietary patterns within these contexts. Previous multiisotopic analysis of the skeletal population from the Inca site of Machu Picchu indicates marked variation in dietary co...

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different proportions of marshmallow extract (Althaea officinalis L.) on growth performance and carcass composition of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Methods: Common carp with an average weight of 37.65 ± 4.40 g were fed for two months with a diet supplemented with marshmallow (A. officinalis) ext...

Diet quality is an important measure in understanding food security because of the synergistic nature of microand macronutrients (Gerber, 2001 [1]) and the association of healthy diet patterns with reduced risk for diet-related disease and illness (Kant, 1996 [2]). The Diet Quality Index ? International (DQI-I) is a composite, individual-level diet quality indicator. It was created in 2003 to e...
