1. Ultra-processed foods and the nutritional quality of the diet of Brazilian pregnant women
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the consumption of ultra-processed foods by Brazilian pregnant women and its association with the nutritional quality of the diet. METHODS: This is a prospective and cross-sectional study with food consumption data of Brazilian pregnant women from the 2017 to 2018 Family Budgets Survey (Pesquisa de O

2. Energy budgets for juvenile Pacific whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei fed different diets
Abstract Energy budgets for juvenile Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (1.7-4.0 g ) fed with different diets were assessed. The energy partitioning between growth, respiration, ammonia excretion, feces and exuvia was calculated to estimate for total food energy intake. Shrimp oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion were quantified in sealed cham

3. A erosão costeira e sua influência sobre a atividade petrolífera: alternativas sustentáveis na mitigação de impactos ambientais
The study area consist in high sensitivity environments located on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil. The barrier island are the main geomorphological features on the coastal landscape, being naturally instable and surrounded by industrial activities like oil fields, salt industry, shrimp farms and urban areas sometimes installed pa

4. Balanço energético e seletividade alimentar de Hyphessobrycon eques e Serrapinnus notomelas (Pisces, Characiformes). / Energy budget and food selectivity of Hyphessobrycon eques and Serrapinnus notomelas (Pisces, Osteichthyes).
A ecologia trófica e os aspectos bioenergéticos da maioria dos peixes de pequeno porte são desconhecidos, embora sejam componentes importantes da ictiofauna, contribuindo grandemente para a riqueza de espécies, e para o fluxo de energia dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Os balanços energéticos e a seletividade alimentar de duas espécies de peixes de pequen

5. Uso de habitat pelo bugio, Alouatta fusca Clamitans, em um fragmento florestal em Lençois Paulista-SP
The habitat use of a group of three brown howler monkeys (Alouatta fusca clamitans) was studied in a fragment with 165 ha of semideciduous forest in Lençóis Paulista, west of São Paulo State. Aspects of diet, time budgets and space use of the animals were investigated during 12 months. It was carried out also the fIoristic study of the area and the phenol

6. Multiple-Locus Heterozygosity and the Physiological Energetics of Growth in the Coot Clam, MULINIA LATERALIS, from a Natural Population
The relationship between individual energy budgets and multiple-locus heterozygosity at six polymorphic enzyme loci was examined in Mulinia lateralis. Energy budgets were determined by measuring growth rates, rates of oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and clearance rates. Enzyme genotypes were determined using starch gel electrophoresis. Growth rate and

7. Hydrogen and bioenergetics in the Yellowstone geothermal ecosystem
The geochemical energy budgets for high-temperature microbial ecosystems such as occur at Yellowstone National Park have been unclear. To address the relative contributions of different geochemistries to the energy demands of these ecosystems, we draw together three lines of inference. We studied the phylogenetic compositions of high-temperature (>70°C) com

8. Response of two pea hybrids to CO2 enrichment: a test of the energy overflow hypothesis for alternative respiration.
Two pea (Pisum sativum L.) hybrids differing in the presence or absence of the cyanide-resistant (alternative) pathway of respiration were constructed by reciprocally crossing cv. Alaska and cv. Progress No. 9. The F1 hybrids were grown in greenhouses maintained at either 350 or 650 ppm CO2, and the growth, flowering, and dry matter accumulation were compare

9. Natural selection and the evolution of reproductive effort.
Reproductive effort is defined as that proportion of the total energy budget of an organism that is devoted to reproductive processes. Reproductive effort at a given age within a species will be selected to maximize reproductive value at that age. Reproductive effort is not directly affected by changes in juvenile survivorship, nor necessarily reduced by an

10. Energy Budgets and Temperatures of Nyctinastic Leaves on Freezing Nights 1
Temperatures of exposed horizontal and vertical soybean leaves (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Chippewa) were measured on calm, clear nights with temperatures near freezing. Average leaf-air temperature differences for 5 nights were −1.5 C and −1.0 C for horizontal and vertical leaves respectively. The horizontal leaves were cooler than the vertical leaves.

11. The energetic grooming costs imposed by a parasitic mite (Spinturnix myoti) upon its bat host (Myotis myotis).
Parasites often exert severe negative effects upon their host's fitness. Natural selection has therefore prompted the evolution of anti-parasite mechanisms such as grooming. Grooming is efficient at reducing parasitic loads in both birds and mammals, but the energetic costs it entails have not been properly quantified. We measured both the energetic metaboli
