What does feeding system morphology tell us about feeding?

The endocannabinoid system in invertebrates.

What is the role of the cannabinoid system in invertebrates and can it tell us something about the human system? We discuss in this review the possible presence of the cannabinoid system in invertebrates. Endocannabinoid processes, i.e., enzymatic hydrolysis, as well as cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids, have been identified in various species of invertebrates. These signal molecules a...

Inclusion of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) in Swine Rations

Introduction As the ethanol industry grows in Michigan and the U.S., so does the discussion about including distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in swine rations. The DDGS byproduct has the potential to be a nutritious, cost effective replacement for corn, SBM and inorganic phosphorus. Much has been written about feeding DDGS recently in popular magazines and newspapers, including infor...

Ontogeny of feeding morphology and kinematics in juvenile fishes: a case study of the cottid fish Clinocottus analis

The development of feeding morphology, kinematics and behavior was examined in the juveniles of the cottid fish Clinocottus analis. The attacks of 18 juvenile C. analis, between 17.59 mm and 42.15 mm in standard length (SL), feeding on brown worms were filmed using high-speed video. Feeding mode, ram- or suction-dominated, kinematic variables and morphology were quantified and compared over the...

What does the residual income method tell us about housing affordability in Australia?

This bulletin is based on research conducted by Professor Terry Burke and Ms Liss Ralston at the AHURI UNSWUWS Research Centre, and Professor Michael Stone from the University of Massachusetts, USA. The project considered the policy implications of using a different measure for housing affordability— using the residual income rather than the income ratio method. What does the residual income me...
