Feeding biomechanics of the cownose ray, Rhinoptera bonasus, over ontogeny.
Growth affects the performance of structure, so the pattern of growth must influence the role of a structure and an organism. Because animal performance is linked to morphological specialization, ontogenetic change in size may influence an organism's biological role. High bite force generation is presumably selected for in durophagous taxa. Therefore, these animals provide an excellent study sy...

تعداد 20 رأس میش نژاد نائینی 6+-24 ماهه، با میانگین وزن 2/3-+40 کیلوگرم، همراه با 20 رأس بره های آنها در قالب طرح کاملا تصادفی اثر بتائین و مکمل سولفات بر خصوصیات شیر و پشم و عملکرد بره ها بررسی شد. میش ها بطور تصادفی در چهار تیمار قرار گرفتند. تیمارها عبارت بودند از: 1-گروه شاهد 2-بتائین (05/0 درصد ماده خشک) 3-سولفات (24/0 سولفور درصد ماده خشک 4-بتائین هرماه با سولفات. جیره غذائی طبق nrc با مح...
15 صفحه اولFeeding biomechanics and theoretical calculations of bite force in bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) during ontogeny.
Evaluations of bite force, either measured directly or calculated theoretically, have been used to investigate the maximum feeding performance of a wide variety of vertebrates. However, bite force studies of fishes have focused primarily on small species due to the intractable nature of large apex predators. More massive muscles can generate higher forces and many of these fishes attain immense...
متن کاملOntogeny of respiration and feeding structures of skull in Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus (Bordin, 1897)
In the present study, the process of the skull development and calcification in Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) was studied. Development of cartilage started after hatching around the head and notochord (10.6 mm, total length, TL) and the first calcification process occurred in dermopalatine and dentary bone jaw coincident with mixing feeding. The appearance of dermal skeletal on the body...
متن کاملHuman feeding biomechanics: performance, variation, and functional constraints
The evolution of the modern human (Homo sapiens) cranium is characterized by a reduction in the size of the feeding system, including reductions in the size of the facial skeleton, postcanine teeth, and the muscles involved in biting and chewing. The conventional view hypothesizes that gracilization of the human feeding system is related to a shift toward eating foods that were less mechanicall...
