Abstract: An animal's metabolism changes throughout development, obliging the animal to coordinate its feeding behaviour with its stage-specific nutritional requirements. Previous studies in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster showed that the developmental transition known as critical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01635581.2020.1750660
Abstract: Abstract Critical weight loss (CWL) continues to be a major issue in head and neck cancer (HNC) and many patients require tube feeding. We investigated the use of reactive feeding tubes (RFTs), associated CWL, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/phen.12199
Abstract: The molting process and body growth in Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) (Ståhl, 1859) are significantly influenced by the availability and quality of food. Based on the body weight of each stage, the present study provides… read more here.
