The feeding ecology of and carbon and nitrogen budgets for Engraulis capensis in the southern Benguela ecosystem
… that they are herbivorous and B) that they are omnivorous, but consume mainly zooplankton. The former view has been employed to explain their abundance in upwelling areas, since their purported ability to efficiently utilise the primary producers shortens the pelagic food chain to 1 or 2 links. …

The Effects of Class, Age, Gender and Race on Musical Preferences: An Examination of the Omnivore/Univore Framework
… social class are positively related to musical omnivorousness (liking a wide variety of music). That is, older people and people higher in social economic standing will be more omnivorousness in musical preferences. The underlying theory here is that in today's society, being omnivorous is a …

Exploring Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) Population Dynamics and Phenotypic Plasticity in Comal Springs, Texas
… musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) is a small, omnivorous species inhabiting spring systems in Central Texas, where invasive gastropods have become abundant. This study investigates whether dietary shifts toward these gastropods are associated with variations in head and body morphology. …
