Over the past several decades, scientists have constructed bioenergetic models for marine
mammals to assess potential population-level consequences following exposure to a …

Movement is essential in the ecology of most animals, and it typically consumes a large
proportion of individual energy budgets. Environmental conditions modulate the energetic …

To investigate the effects of taurine and vitamin C on gibel carp (Carrassius auratus gibeilo),
fish (41.85±0.03 g) were fed three diets with 0% taurine+ 0% vitamin C (D0), 0.1% taurine+ …

The balance between energetic costs and acquisition in free-ranging species is essential for
