A comparison of activity patterns for captive Propithecus tattersalli and Propithecus coquereli.
(Zoo Biol, 2016-03)The activity patterns and social interactions of two species of captive sifaka were observed during a 2-year period. Allogrooming was not observed in golden-crowned sifaka and they spent significantly more time resting than ... -
A Novel Method for Assessing Enamel Thickness Distribution in the Anterior Dentition as a Signal for Gouging and Other Extractive Foraging Behaviors in Gummivorous Mammals.
(Folia primatologica; international journal of primatology, 2020-01)Gummivory poses unique challenges to the dentition as gum acquisition may often require that the anterior teeth be adapted to retain a sharp edge and to resist loading because they sometimes must penetrate a highly obdurate ... -
Are we looking for loads in all the right places? New research directions for studying the masticatory apparatus of New World monkeys.
(Anat Rec (Hoboken), 2011-12)New World monkeys display a wide range of masticatory apparatus morphologies related to their diverse diets and feeding strategies. While primatologists have completed many studies of the platyrrhine masticatory apparatus, ... -
Behaviourally driven gene expression reveals song nuclei in hummingbird brain.
(Nature, 2000-08-10)Hummingbirds have developed a wealth of intriguing features, such as backwards flight, ultraviolet vision, extremely high metabolic rates, nocturnal hibernation, high brain-to-body size ratio and a remarkable species-specific ... -
Beverage Consumption Patterns among Infants and Young Children (0⁻47.9 Months): Data from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study, 2016.
(Nutrients, 2018-06-26)(1) Background: Data about early life beverage intake patterns is sparse. We describe beverage patterns among infants and young children from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016. (2) Methods: FITS 2016 is ... -
Development and Application of a Total Diet Quality Index for Toddlers.
(Nutrients, 2021-06-05)For the first time, the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include recommendations for infants and toddlers under 2 years old. We aimed to create a diet quality index based on a scoring system for ages 12 to 23.9 ... -
Development and Preliminary Feasibility of iByte4Health: A Mobile Health (mHealth) Pediatric Obesity Prevention Intervention to Engage Parents with Low-Income of Children 2-9 Years.
(Nutrients, 2021-11-25)This research describes the development and preliminary feasibility of iByte4Health, a mobile health (mHealth) obesity prevention intervention designed for parents with a low-income of children 2-9 years of age. Study 1 ... -
Dietary choices by four captive slender lorises (Loris tardigradus) when presented with various insect life stages.
(Zoo Biol, 2011-03)The slender loris (Loris tardigradus) is a rare, nocturnal prosimian found only in the tropical rainforest of southern India and Sri Lanka. Little is known about their diet, though it is assumed that insects comprise a majority ... -
Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.
(Nutrients, 2018-04-09)Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional study explored dietary patterns associated with ... -
Eco-evolutionary trophic dynamics: loss of top predators drives trophic evolution and ecology of prey.
(PLoS One, 2011-04-19)Ecosystems are being altered on a global scale by the extirpation of top predators. The ecological effects of predator removal have been investigated widely; however, predator removal can also change natural selection acting ... -
Effects of the dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet, exercise, and caloric restriction on neurocognition in overweight adults with high blood pressure.
(Hypertension, 2010-06)High blood pressure increases the risks of stroke, dementia, and neurocognitive dysfunction. Although aerobic exercise and dietary modifications have been shown to reduce blood pressure, no randomized trials have examined ... -
Fatty acid composition of wild anthropoid primate milks.
(Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol, 2008-01)Fatty acids in milk reflect the interplay between species-specific physiological mechanisms and maternal diet. Anthropoid primates (apes, Old and New World monkeys) vary in patterns of growth and development and dietary ... -
Mechanical defenses in leaves eaten by Costa Rican howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata).
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 2006-01)Primate species often eat foods of different physical properties. This may have implications for tooth structure and wear in those species. The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanical defenses of leaves eaten ... -

Olfactory conditioning facilitates diet transition in human infants.
(Dev Psychobiol, 2000-11)We evaluated whether Pavlovian conditioning methods could be used to increase the ingestion of non-preferred solutions by formula-fed human infants. In baseline measures, 5-7 month old infants sucked less frequently and ... -
Overview of FEED, the feeding experiments end-user database.
(Integr Comp Biol, 2011-08)The Feeding Experiments End-user Database (FEED) is a research tool developed by the Mammalian Feeding Working Group at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center that permits synthetic, evolutionary analyses of the physiology ... -
Sensory information and associative cues used in food detection by wild vervet monkeys.
(Anim Cogn, 2014-05)Understanding animals' spatial perception is a critical step toward discerning their cognitive processes. The spatial sense is multimodal and based on both the external world and mental representations of that world. Navigation ... -
The effect of the home environment on physical activity and dietary intake in preschool children.
(Int J Obes (Lond), 2013-10)BACKGROUND: The effects of the home environment on child health behaviors related to obesity are unclear. PURPOSE: To examine the role of the home physical activity (PA) and food environment on corresponding outcomes in ... -
Transgenerational Effects of Early Life Starvation on Growth, Reproduction, and Stress Resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans.
