Food selectivity of Bluegill and Green Sunfish Fry
… municipal sewage lagoon, were made available as food to green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) fry, to examine their food selectivity. Green sunfish and bluegill fry ranged in size from 8.5-11.0 mm and 8.0-10.5 mm at stocking and were reared for 31 and 30 days, …

Telehealth Caregiver Training: Treating Food Selectivity without Extinction
… in their home to treat their child’s food selectivity. All three caregivers demonstrated high levels of correct performance following training and all children demonstrated increases in the number of bites consumed and decreases in disruptive behaviors. Findings suggest telehealth …

Evaluation of Sequential Presentation without Extinction for the Treatment of Food Selectivity
… to increase consumption of non-preferred foods in children with food selectivity (e.g., Allison et al., 2012; Anderson & McMillan, 2001; Kern & Marder, 1996; Najdowski, Wallace, Doney, & Ghezzi, 2003). Escape extinction is often a critical component of sequential presentation. However, …

Food Selectivity of Bigmouth Buffalo (Ictiobus cyprinellus, Valenciennes) in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota
Food habits of bigmouth buffalo fry, subadults, and adults were studied in lake Poinsett, South Dakota, from January to November, 1968. Fifty-six fry fed primarily (75.0% by volume) on benthic organisms. Four hundred fifty-five subadults and adults fed entirely on plankton. Daphnia pulex adults …

Food Selectivity of the Black Bullhead (Ictalurus melas, Rafinesque) in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota
The food habits of young-of-the-year, subadult and adult black bullheads were studied in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, from March, 1970, to April, 1971. Two hundred twenty young-of-the-year (37-87 mm total length) fed primarily on limnetic cladocerans and copepods. Leptodora and Diaphanosoma …

A Comparison of Modified Food Chaining and Simultaneous Presentation Plus Nonremoval of the Spoon to Treat Food Selectivity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Feeding disorders can range from mild (e.g., food selectivity by taste or texture) to severe (e.g., total food refusal; Bachmeyer, 2009). If left untreated, feeding disorders can result in serious health ramifications, including malnutrition, growth delays, and developmental delays (Kern & Marder, …

Food, Growth, and Reproduction of White Crappies (Pomixis Annularis) and Black Crappies (P. Nigromaculatus) in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota
The food habits, food selectivity, growth, condition, and population structures of the white crappies (Pomoxis annularis) and black crappies (P. nigromaculatus) in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota, were studied from May, 1975, to May, 1976. The total food volume of 173 adult white crappies consisted of …

The Effects of Behavioural Skills Training on a Parent-Implemented Feeding Treatment via Telehealth
… to implement behaviour analytic treatments for food selectivity. To date, no study has evaluated the effects of a telehealth BST training package to teach parents to serve as primary interventionists and implement a feeding treatment with their child at home. We used a multiple baseline across …

Predator-prey dynamics under the influence of exogenous and endogenous regulation : a data-based modeling study on spring plankton with respect to climate change
… model with predator species differing in their food selectivity, and prey species in their edibility reproduced the observed patterns. Food-selectivity and edibility were related to the feeding and growth characteristics of the species, which represented ecological trade-offs. For example, the …

Determining the Trophic Role of Gulf Menhaden (<i>Brevoortia patronus</i>) Using Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotopes
… ecosystem as filter feeders and as an important food source for many recreationally and economically important finfish. Gulf menhaden also support a large commercial fishery, and little is known about the impact of fishing on the role of this species as a filter feeder in the food web. This study …

Caracterização da microbiota intestinal, perfil inflamatório e integridade da barreira gastrointestinal de crianças diagnosticadas com transtorno do espectro autista
… epithelial barrier composition, behavior, and food preferences.Objective: To characterize the gut microbiota and its antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG), as well as to evaluate the eating behavior of children with ASD. Methodology: A non-randomized controlled study was conducted with children …

Use of Fading Procedures and Positive Reinforcement to Increase Consumption of Non-Preferred Food in a Child with Autism
… malnutrition. Failure to eat adequate amounts of food and/or insistence on eating a limited range of foods can be detrimental to a child's health and can lead to other behavioral difficulties. Feeding problems are difficult to treat because high levels of physical prompting can quickly create an …

Neuromolecular basis of anomalous feeding behaviour in the valproate rat model of autism
… ASD. ASD individuals often demonstrate extreme food selectivity, refusal, dependence on few very particular food items, neophobia etc. which can lead to nutritional deficiencies affecting development. However, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of aberrant food intake in ASD are not …

Primate nutritional ecology: the role of food selection, energy intake, and nutrient balancing in Mexican black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) foraging strategies
… and reproductive success. However, understanding food selection is a complex task, and it requires integrating information on physiology, behavior, and the ecological and social environments in which the animals live. In this dissertation, I examined the nutritional ecology of Mexican black howler …

Influence of increased sediment exposure on suspension-feeder assemblages in a temperate seagrass meadow

A neural and behavioural investigation of aberrant feeding in animal models of autism spectrum disorder
… impairments. It omits, however, dysregulated food intake, which is the symptom present in over 60% of ASD individuals. Data suggest that feeding abnormalities include heightened food selectivity, neophobia and food refusal, as well as pica (consumption of non-food items). The current knowledge …
