As in spring and early summer, they are once again free to forage widely, a final burst of intense feeding before winter's bitter cold renders them less active.
These findings further support our own data that indicate that intense feeding on hosts during reproductive phases drive seasonal patterns of relative host use.
In this respect, chitinase-related activity should be considered as typical responses in bivalve mollusks during the periods of more intense feeding activity as a consequence of higher food metabolism.
Anticipatory activity and the initial bout of intense feeding activity associated with granting food access were attenuated in Mc3r−/− mice, resulting in increased weight loss relative to controls.
Both opto- and pharmaco-genetic activation of AgRP neurons drive intense feeding in ad libitum-fed mice (Aponte et al., 2011, Krashes et al., 2011), while loss-of-function experiments in food-restricted mice lead to a reduction in food consumption (Gropp et al., 2005, Luquet et al., 2005, Krashes et al., 2011).
The cause of the twin collapse yesterday of the World Trade Center towers in downtown Manhattan was most likely the intense fire fed by thousands of gallons of jet fuel aboard the two jetliners that crashed into the buildings, experts on skyscraper design said.
Intense adult feeding early in the season promotes a second flush of foliage growth which is the preferred food for the larvae.
Narwhals have a very intense summer feeding society.
Indirect evidence of intense mosquito feeding during the host reproductive season can be found in the temporal ecology of mosquito-transmitted pathogens and parasites.
This year, even more than most years, they are under intense pressure to feed a hungry nation.
But Siobhan Freegard, co-founder of Netmums, said the fad meant mothers were now under intense pressure to feed naturally – or "bressure", as she dubbed it.
