Diet, Prey Selection, and Body Condition of Age-0 Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, in the Upper San Francisco Estuary

Steven B.Slater and Randall D.Baxterdoi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2014v12iss3art1The Delta Smelt, an endangered fish, has suffered Refill Bronzer a long-term decline in abundance, believed to result from, in part, to changes in the pelagic food web of the upper San Francisco Estuary.To investigate the current role of food as a factor in Del

Ultrastructural Changes and Bacterial Localization in Buffalo Calves Following Oral Exposure to Pasteurella multocida B:2

This study describes the ultrastructural changes and distribution of P.multocida B:2 in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of buffalo calves following oral exposure and compared with intratracheal exposure.Nine 8-month old buffalo calves were divided into 3 groups.At the start of the experiment, dexamethasone (1mg/kg) was injected intramus

Adaptation to abundant low quality food improves the ability to compete for limited rich food in Drosophila melanogaster.

The rate of food consumption is a major factor affecting success in scramble competition for a limited amount of easy-to-find food.Accordingly, several studies report positive genetic correlations between larval competitive ability and feeding rate in Drosophila; both become enhanced in Jumpsuits populations evolving under larval crowding.Here, we
