Genetic basis of adaptive radiation in East African cichlids
… cichlid species that employ alternate modes of feeding. This was achieved through a number of independent experiments. First, I used field data to characterize the way in which foraging habitat was partitioned between sympatric rock-dwelling species from Lake Malawi. Second, morphological …

Exploring the Soft Tissue of the Archosaurian Feeding System through Evolutionary and Developmental Temporal Space
… we see a plethora of modifications made to the feeding apparatus in this group, such as dental batteries in hadrosaurids, bone crushing teeth in tyrannosaurids, or edentulous jaws covered in a rhamphotheca (=beak) in oviraptors. In the fossil record, morphological modifications can be seen in …

Relationships between invertebrate detritivores and gut bacteria in marine systems
Aspects of the feeding strategies and digestive invertebrate-microbial interactions of two saltmarsh thalassinid detritivores, the mudprawn Upogebia africana (Ortmann) and the sandprawn Callianassa kraussi Stebbing were examined. Resources available in their respective habitats were investigated …

Comparative Morphology and Macroevolution of the Avian Quadrate
… influenced by selective pressures related to feeding. Owing to its complex and variable morphology, the avian quadrate has been relatively overlooked with respect to other aspects of the crown bird skeleton, and previous researchers have frequently used different names to describe the same …

Kinetics and Energetics of Feeding Behaviors in Daubentonia madagascariensis
… the ways Daubentonia uses its specialized feeding apparatus during naturalistic feeding behaviors. This can be divided into two main objectives. The first objective was to better understand how these extreme specializations function in the extractive foraging niche of Daubentonia. The …

The ecology and feeding biology of thecate heterotrophic dinoflagellates
… was initiated, nothing was known about their feeding mechanisms, rates or food preferences. The population dynamics of these microheterotrophs were studied in a temperate estuary over a 13 month period, along with co-occurring diatoms, ciliates and pigmented (photosynthetic) dinoflagellates. …

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes of Shell Bound organic Matter, Implications for Modern and Ancient Food Web Dynamics
… the isotopic signature of consumers. Suspension feeding bivalves, which feed on sedimenting particles in the water column provide an ideal system to investigate these changes. In Chapter 1, I use high-resolution sclerochronological data from recent and live bivalve Spisula solidissima, to …
