Stomach contents of the long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, are reported for the first time from New Zealand waters. Analyses based on two male and three female whales (2.5–5.3 m in length) that stranded on Farewell Spit, Golden Bay, South Island in December 2005 revealed a diet comprised exclusively of cephalopods (2−33 lower cephalopod beaks per stomach). Two genera of cephalopod fro...

Next-generation sequencing is increasingly used in conservation biology to resolve complex interactions between species, either diet or gut parasites studies. We applied a recent long metabarcoding method elucidate the green whip snake’s (Hierophis viridiflavus) prey consumption based on DNA extracted from stomach contents. Illegally introduced Canton of Vaud (Switzerland), three populations sn...

in order to increase the knowledge of saurida tumbil biology and ecology, an investigation of food habits of this species was conducted from october 2010 to september 2011 in bushehr coastal waters, persian gulf. 485 fish stomach contents were studied. in this study the frequency of occurrence of prey, feeding intensity index, the index is empty stomachs, the mean trophic levels and the rate of...

Current pharmaceutical situation focuses on the preparation of gastro-retentive floating drug delivery system (GRFDDS). This systems has gained noteworthy interest in past decades. These are low density that float over gastric contents and remain buoyant stomach for a prolonged period time without affecting emptying rate. GRFDDS is used to delay residence stomach. The controlled retention solid...

Experimental investigations of the neural substrate of consciousness typically take one of two paths, studying (1) contents or (2) levels of consciousness. It seems obvious to most that these two "paths" are interrelated, yet much less obvious how. This paper gives one suggestion to grasp the interrelation, arguing that conscious levels are determined by conscious contents in a very specific wa...
