Idiosyncratic nutrient requirements of cats appear to be diet-induced evolutionary adaptations.
Cats have obligatory requirements for dietary nutrients that are not essential for other mammals. The present review relates these idiosyncratic nutritional requirements to activities of enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways of these nutrients. The high protein requirement of cats is a consequence of the lack of regulation of the aminotransferases of dispensable N metabolism and of the ure...
متن کاملUnique nutrient requirements of cats appear to bediet–induced evolutionary adaptations
Cats have requirements for essential dietary nutrients additional to those needed by other animals. The object of this review is to relate the idiosyncratic nutritional requirements of cats to activities of enzymes involved in the pathways of these nutrients. The high protein requirement of cats follows from the lack of regulation of the aminotransferases of dispensable nitrogen metabolism and ...
متن کاملThe Repertoire and Dynamics of Evolutionary Adaptations to Controlled Nutrient-Limited Environments in Yeast
The experimental evolution of laboratory populations of microbes provides an opportunity to observe the evolutionary dynamics of adaptation in real time. Until very recently, however, such studies have been limited by our inability to systematically find mutations in evolved organisms. We overcome this limitation by using a variety of DNA microarray-based techniques to characterize genetic chan...

متن کاملYou want to appear competent? Be mean! You want to appear sociable? Be lazy! Group differentiation and the compensation effect
Using the two fundamental dimensions of social judgment, warmth and competence, we show that, contrary to general models of impression formation, negative information on one dimension has positive consequences on the way a target is judged on the other dimension. Participants learned about two groups which were either congruent on warmth and competence (one group high on both and the other low ...
