ENERGY COSTS OF CATFISH SPACE USE AS DETERMINED BY BIOTELEMETRY.

Energy costs of catfish space use as determined by biotelemetry.

Animals use dispersed resources within their home range (HR) during regular day-to-day activities.The high-quality area intensively used by an individual, where critical resources are concentrated, has been designated as the core area (CA).This study aimed to describe how animals utilize energy in the HR and CA assuming that changes would occur acc

Sequestration of aristolochic acids from meridic diets by larvae of Battus polydamas archidamas (Papilionidae: Troidini)

Larvae of the butterfly, Battus polydamas archidamas (Papilionidae: Troidini) feed exclusively on aristolochic acid (AAs)-containing Aristolochia species (Aristolochiaceae).The distribution of sequestrated AAs in the tissues (body, integument and osmeterial secretions) of B.polydamas archidamas larvae during their development, when fed on a meridic
