Abstract:

Background: Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects movement, muscle tone, and motor skills, often causing feeding difficulties. Individuals with cerebral palsy experience dysphagia, prolonged meal durations, and increased dependency on caregivers for feeding assistance. It is important to understand the relationship between mobility impairments, feeding dependency, and dietary adaptations for optimising nutritional intake and quality of life. Objective: This research aims to analyse the feeding difficulties faced by individuals with cerebral palsy, assess the influence of

Abstract:

Since Darwin, biologists have sought to understand the evolution and origins of phenotypic adaptations. The skull is particularly diverse due to intense natural selection on feeding biomechanics. We investigated the genetic and molecular origins of trophic adaptation using Lake Malawi cichlids, which have undergone an exemplary evolutionary radiation. We analyzed morphological differences in the lateral and ventral head shape among an insectivore that eats by suction feeding, an obligate biting herbivore, and their F2 hybrids. We identified variation in a series of morphological traits—includi

Abstract:

Although dermestids have varying ecological roles, most Dermestes are generally associated with decomposition of dry animal tissues. However, Dermestes maculatus DeGeer (1774) can eat soft, hydrated tissues, so it is unclear if the apparent preference of Dermestes maculatus for dry tissue reflects physiological adaptation or competitive exclusion by blowflies and other invertebrate scavengers that arrive at carrion earlier and may have faster immature development rates. To address this question, we examined development of D. maculatus larvae on hydrated and dry food, and we determined developm

Abstract:

Insects have developed sophisticated detoxification systems to protect them from plant secondary metabolites while feeding on plants to obtain necessary nutrients. As an important enzyme in the system, glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) conjugates toxic compounds to mitigate their harm to insects. However, the evolutionary link between GT1s and insect plant feeding remains elusive. In this study, we explored the evolution of GT1s across different insect orders and feeding niches using publicly available insect genomes. GT1 is widely present in insect species; however, its gene number differs among in

Abstract:

AbstractLactation results in a number of physiological adaptations which exert direct effects on maternal health, some of which may confer both short and long term advantages for breast feeding mothers. Breast feeding in the early postpartum period promotes a more rapid return of the uterus to its prepregnant state through the actions of oxytocin. Breast feeding may also lead to a more rapid return to prepregnancy weight. Among studies that had good data on duration and intensity of lactation, the majority show a significant association between lactation and weight loss. However, there is no e

Although anthophilous Coleoptera are regarded to be unspecialised flower-visiting insects, monkey beetles (Scarabaeidae: Hopliini) represent one of the most important groups of pollinating insects in South Africa’s floristic hotspot of the Greater Cape Region. South African monkey beetles are known to feed on floral tissue; however, some species seem to specialise on pollen and/or nectar. The present study examined the mouthpart morphology and gut content of various hopliine species to draw conclusions on their feeding preferences.

Simuliidae morphological adaptations to suck the blood are combined into several groups: habitus, sensory vesicle of maxillary palp (Lutz’s organ), mouthparts, claws adaptations. Habitus adaptations can be traced in smaller absolute body sizes, relatively large head sizes, reduction of 2–6 abdomen sternites, presence of wide wings. The sensory organ adaptations are associated with a size decrease of the sensory vesicle during the transition from the ornithophilia to the mammalophilia of Simuliidae. Adaptations in the mouthparts structure are associated with the presence of hooks on the labrum,

The largest animals are baleen filter feeders that exploit large aggregations of small-bodied plankton.

Here, we review the biomechanics of the lunge feeding mechanism in rorqual whales that underlies their extraordinary foraging performance and gigantic body size.

Toothed whales (Odontoceti) are adapted for catching prey underwater and possess some of the most derived feeding specializations of all mammals, including the loss of milk teeth (monophyodonty), high tooth count (polydonty), and the loss of discrete tooth classes (homodonty). Many extant odontocetes possess some combination of short, broad rostra, reduced tooth counts, fleshy lips, and enlarged hyoid bones—all adaptations for suction feeding upon fishes and squid.

Abstract:

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The breadth of an animals' ecological niche is circumscribed by its morphology, performance, and behavior, 3 factors that can ultimately affect fitness. We investigated potential behavioral and performance adaptations to roost making, a life-history trait associated with high fitness in the insectivorous bat Lophostoma silvicolum. Males of this species use their teeth to excavate roosts in active termite nests, which we ∼ to be much harder than the hardest prey in the bats' diet (beetles). We compared roost making and feeding behavior in L. si

Abstract:

The transition from carnivory to omnivory is poorly understood. The ability to feed at more than one trophic level theoretically increases an animal's fitness in a novel environment. Because of the absence of light and photosynthesis, most subterranean ecosystems are characterized by very few trophic levels, such that food scarcity is a challenge in many subterranean habitats. One strategy against starvation is to expand diet breadth. Grotto Salamanders (Eurycea spelaea (Stejneger, 1892)) are known to ingest bat guano deliberately, challenging the general understanding that salamanders are str

Birds and bats may travel upwards of 50 km day-1 during feeding, and further during migration or feeding bouts over several days. Limited data suggest that they carry viable pollen.

Abstract:

How herbivorous insects adapt to host plants is a key question in ecological and evolutionary biology. The fall armyworm, (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), although polyphagous and a major pest on various crops, has been reported to have a rice and corn (maize) feeding strain in its native range in the Americas. The species is highly invasive and has recently established in China. We compared behavioral changes in larvae and adults of a corn population (Corn) when selected on rice (Rice) and the molecular basis of these adaptational changes in midgut and antennae based on a comparative

Abstract:

The origin of the common evolutionary branch of soft and hard ticks is dated to the later Permian, approximately coinciding with the Permian extinction, and divergence of the common branch of Ixodoidea into ancestral forms of Argasidae and Ixodidae occurred in the Triassic. Ancestors of the common branch of Ixodoidea (Ixodidae, Argasidae, Nuttalliellidae) were not bloodsucking arthropods and were closely related to modern representatives of Holothyridae. Bloodsucking and, later, temporary ectoparasitism had developed only after divergence of the main branches (Ixodidae, Argasidae and Nuttallie
