SUMMARY: Chapter 7, in Renfrew & Bahn's textbook (Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice), covers how to assess past subsistence and diet, including plant food (e.g., macro- and microbotanical remains; plant residues; seasonality;... more
El Tiburón Come perro o Madre cazón, Carcharhinus leucas de distribución mundial se encuentra presente en aguas ecuatorianas y es objeto de una pesquería artesanal dirigida a lo largo de la costa continental. Se analizaron 83 ejemplares... more
This study presents information on the diet of two shark species, Carcharhinus leucas and Galeocerdo cuvier, that inhabit the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The stomachs were collected from October 2003 to July 2005 in Ecuador. Stomachs of... more
The food and feeding habits of some fish fauna in Anwai stream were investigated. Fish samples (160 individual fish in 19 species) were collected using combination of traps, gill nets of various mesh sizes and baited hooks and lines in... more
Climate change is expected to strongly impact Alaskan (USA) marine ecosystems, particularly those of the northern Bering Sea. To understand how climate change may alter predator demand for prey resources, we quantified the relationship... more
We analysed the stomach contents of 69 silky sharks Carcharhinus falciformis, 44 blacktip sharks Carcharhinus limbatus and 24 whitenose sharks Nasolamia velox caught in the Ecuadorian Pacific from August 2003 to December 2004. Prey... more
The dusky grouper (Mycteroperca marginata) is a marine species usually associated with rocky bottoms and reefs. The present work investigated the diet and feeding strategy of a dusky grouper population inhabiting a 4.5 km long pair of... more
Studies on feeding ecology provide information of great importance to the understanding of aquatic ecosystems. However, these studies usually require the sacrifice of animals. In view of this problem, the presently reported study aims to... more
All sturgeon species currently living in the Danube River are either critically endangered or at the edge of extinction. Sturgeons are mainly benthic feeders, with a diet of molluscs, crustaceans, and small fishes. During the last two... more
The botanical composition of the European roe deer diet in the radioactively contaminated forest ecosystems of Zhytomirske Polesie of the Ukraine was investigated. Deer were caught monthly over a two–year period on three plots in forest... more
Stomach contents of a male 120cm long Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermophroditus) described from Satkosia Tiger Reserve, Odisha. The ingested items are (1) seeds of ‘Kendu’ fruits (Diospyros melanoxylon): 7 nos.from at least two fruits, (2)... more
Microinvasive methods are widely used in studies of rare and endangered animals. All sturgeon species currently living in the Danube River are either critically endangered or at the edge of extinction. The reasons for this are complex,... more
Frog diets are influenced by multiple factors, including morphological constraints, habitat use, and seasonal variation in environmental conditions and food availability. This study combined stomach content analysis (SCA), stable isotope... more
All sturgeon species currently living in the Danube River are either critically endangered or at the edge of extinction. Sturgeons are mainly benthic feeders, with a diet of molluscs, crustaceans, and small fishes. During the last two... more
Acrylamide has several effects toxic and carcinogenic. The current project aimed at exploring the harmful effects of acrylamide on the structure of the stomach, cerebellum and testis in the albino rat, in an attempt to clarify its... more
