Influence of Feeding History on Metabolic Rates in Fishes: Evidence for Metabolic Compensation in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
… Indeed, accuracy of BEM estimates varies with feeding rate of fishes and may be associated with error in measuring fish metabolism. Metabolic rate of fishes is a key parameter in energy budget formulations and can strongly influence accuracy of model predictions. In this study, I tested the …

Interactions between calanoid copepod hosts and their associated microbiota
… may be driven by a combination of the copepod’s feeding history, body size, and bacterial interactions. This thesis work highlights the role of copepods as dynamic reservoirs of diverse microbial communities and implicates copepod host physiology as an important contributor to the activity, …

Estimating Trophic Position of Lake Oahe Walleye Using Stable Isotope Analysis
… they offer only a snapshot of recent feeding patterns when populations are sampled infrequently. I used stable isotope analysis to estimate walleye trophic position and then compared these values to trophic position estimates from diet content analysis for fish sampled from May 2001 to …

Clinical Significance of Specific IgE Antibody Levels to Egg White, Ovalbumin and Ovomucoid in Egg Allergic Children Under 24 Months
… Group A was composed of 10 children who had a history of anaphylaxis after ingestion of heated egg. Group B was composed of 18 children who had experienced non-anaphylactic allergic reactions after ingestion of heated egg. Group C was the not-exposed-sensitization group. Baseline concentrations …

The role of zooplankton in cyanobacteria bloom development in Australian reservoirs
… of C. raciborskii present and the previous feeding history of zooplankton. The results indicated that the clearance rates of copepods on C. raciborskii were 2-4 times lower than that of a cladoceran Ceriodaphnia sp. when both grazers had prey choice. The copepod Boeckella sp. was found to …
