Food preferences of two nudibranch species from the South China Sea revealed by fatty acid trophic markers

Anatolii Komisarenko, Natalia V. Zhukova

Nudibranchs are mostly predators preying on a variety of invertebrates. The dietary preferences of tropical nudibranchs were studied by the method of fatty acid trophic markers (FATM) in order to for better understanding of their trophic ecology. For this, the fatty acid profiles of two nudibranch species from the South China Sea, Doriprismatica atromarginata (Cuvier, 1804) and Jorunna funebris (Kelaart,...

Catarina Pereira de Melo Vila‐Real, Ana Sofia Pimenta‐Martins, Catherine Nkirote Kunyanga, Samuel Kuria Mbugua, more

Nutrition Bulletin > 47 > 4 > 423 - 437

Urbanisation is hastening the transition from traditional food habits to less healthy diets, which are becoming more common among Kenyans. No up‐to‐date studies on usual dietary intake and the main food sources of adult Kenyans are available. The aim of the present study was to identify the main food sources of nutrients in the diet of urban adult Kenyans and explore potential associations with demographic...

A comparison of foraging‐range sizes, flight distances and foraging habitat preferences in urban and rural House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) populations

Jan Havlíček, Jan Riegert, Roman Fuchs

Ibis > 164 > 4 > 1227 - 1242

Lack of food for nestlings is a crucial factor influencing population size and dynamics in birds. It is one of the most cited reasons for recent House Sparrow Passer domesticus population declines in cities and rural settlements. However, a detailed comparative study of habitat use by parents delivering food to offspring in different environments is still missing. To obtain the most detailed information...

Does natural vegetation from olive groves benefit the olive moth, Prays oleae?

Anabela Nave, Fátima Gonçalves, Irene Oliveira, Mercedes Campos, more

Journal of Applied Entomology > 145 > 5 > 406 - 416

Conservation biological control aims to enhance the efficacy of biological control agents, such as predators and parasitoids, by providing them access to key requisites, for example floral or other alternative food resources. However, the occurrence of floral resources in agricultural systems may have positive effects not only on natural enemies but also on the pests themselves. For this reason, we...

Y. C. Probst, K. E. Charlton, S. J. Davison, J. C. Y. Louie

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics > 34 > 2 > 286 - 299

Background When aiming to develop dietary messaging to achieve reductions in added sugar intakes, it is necessary to identify key food contributors. Food contributors are not expected to remain static over time. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the total added sugars (AS) intake and related food sources for adult respondents of two Australian national consumption surveys. Methods Repeated...

Fabio Ercoli, François Lefebvre, Marjorie Delangle, Nil Godé, more

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems > 29 > 12 > 2193 - 2203

Groundwater ecosystems represent the greatest proportion of unfrozen freshwater on Earth and harbour high numbers of rare taxa with restricted distributions. Stygofaunal abundance, species richness, and ecology play essential roles in groundwater ecosystem services and functioning, as well as providing an important contribution to global biodiversity. However, as global depletion and contamination...

E. O. Igwe, K. E. Charlton, Y. C. Probst

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics > 32 > 5 > 578 - 590

Background Anthocyanins represent an important subgroup of non‐nutritive components of food as evidence continues to build related to their beneficial bioactive effects. Using a recently developed Australian anthocyanin database, the present study aimed to estimate the intake of both total anthocyanins and their subclasses, identify food sources of anthocyanins, and determine associations between...

Bin Li, Fajun Chen, Dandan Xu, Zhijian Wang, more

Limnology > 2018 > 19 > 3 > 285-297

The Zoige wetland ecosystem of the eastern edge of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau is the largest plateau peat bog worldwide and an important biodiversity conservation centre in China. Nevertheless, limited information is available about this Alpine wetland aquatic ecosystem, including its food-web structure and complexity. In this study, we analysed the trophic interactions among dominant organisms in...

Nguyen Tai Tue, Tran Dang Quy, Mai Trong Nhuan, Luu Viet Dung, more

Marine Ecology > 38 > 5 > n/a - n/a

Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems that exhibit a diverse range of habitats, including tidal creeks and flats, forest gaps and interior forest with varying understory light intensity, tidal dynamics, geomorphological settings, and overall biological production. Within mangrove ecosystems, invertebrates and fish feed on heterogeneous food sources, the occurrence of which is unevenly distributed...

A.M.M. Vaes, E.M. Brouwer-Brolsma, N.L. van der Zwaluw, J.P. van Wijngaarden, more

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology > 2017 > 173 > C > 228-234

Various populations are at increased risk of developing a low vitamin D status, in particular older adults. Whereas sun exposure is considered the main source of vitamin D, especially during summer, dietary contributions should not be underestimated. This study aims to identify food sources of vitamin D that associate most strongly with serum vitamin D concentration. Data of 595 Dutch adults, aged...

Iris N. Gomez-Lopez, Philippa Clarke, Alex B. Hill, Daniel M. Romero, more

Journal of Urban Health > 2017 > 94 > 3 > 429-436

An established body of research has used secondary data sources (such as proprietary business databases) to demonstrate the importance of the neighborhood food environment for multiple health outcomes. However, documenting food availability using secondary sources in low-income urban neighborhoods can be particularly challenging since small businesses play a crucial role in food availability. These...

European Journal of Nutrition > 2018 > 57 > 4 > 1615-1625

Purpose Dietary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) has been reported to be inversely associated with the risk of chronic diseases. However, little is known about dietary TAC among the Korean population. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the dietary TAC of Korean adults and to document the major food sources. Methods We studied 33,581 Korean adults aged ≥19 years who participated in the Korea National...
