More than just sugar: allocation of nectar amino acids and fatty acids in a Lepidopteran
The ability to allocate resources, even when limited, is essential for survival and fitness. We
examine how nutrients that occur in minute amounts are allocated among reproductive …

The carbon isotope ratio of breath is elevated by short-term and long-term added sugar and animal protein intake in a controlled feeding study
DM O'Brien, LS Freedman, P Rivera… - The American Journal of …, 2024 - Elsevier
Background The breath carbon isotope ratio (CIR) was recently identified as a noninvasive
candidate biomarker of short-term added sugars (AS) intake. Objectives This study aimed to …

Cyclic bouts of extreme bradycardia counteract the high metabolism of frugivorous bats
Active flight requires the ability to efficiently fuel bursts of costly locomotion while maximizing
energy conservation during non-flying times. We took a multi-faceted approach to estimate …

Learning to starve: impacts of food limitation beyond the stress period
Starvation is common among wild animal populations, and many individuals experience
repeated bouts of starvation over the course of their lives. Although much information has …

Water restriction increases oxidation of endogenous amino acids in house sparrows (Passer domesticus)
Animals can cope with dehydration in a myriad of ways, both behaviorally and
physiologically. The oxidation of protein produces more metabolic water per kilojoule than …

Environmental temperature alters the overall digestive energetics and differentially affects dietary protein and lipid use in a lizard
Processing food (eg ingestion, digestion, assimilation) requires energy referred to as
specific dynamic action (SDA) and is at least partially fuelled by oxidation of the nutrients (eg …

Exogenous stress hormones alter energetic and nutrient costs of development and metamorphosis
Variation in environmental conditions during larval life stages can shape development
during critical windows and have lasting effects on the adult organism. Changes in larval …

Using stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N) values from feces and breath to infer shorebird diets
The use of stable isotopes of carbon (δ 13C) and nitrogen (δ 15N) from feces and breath
offers potential as non-destructive tools to assess diets and nutrition. How stable isotope …
