Fasting differentially alters the hypothalamic proteome of chickens from lines with the propensity to be anorexic or obese
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: The hypothalamus is the ultimate modulator of appetite and energy balance and therefore sensitive to changes in nutritional state. Chicks from lines selected for low (LWS) and high (HWS) body weight are hypophagic ...
Linear relationship between peak and season-long abundances in insects
(PLOS, 2018-02-22)
An accurate quantitative relationship between key characteristics of an insect population, such as season-long and peak abundances, can be very useful in pest management programs. To the best of our knowledge, no such ...
