Sentence examples for may reduce feeding from inspiring English sources

Since predation risk can create areas that are avoided by prey [30], [33], [34], affect the physiological condition of prey species [31], [35] and lead to later breeding [33], increased predation may reduce feeding efficiency along the migration route and lead to longer staging periods and poorer body condition.

Flatworms may reduce feeding of the coral host due to several mechanisms: competition with the host coral for zooplankton prey (prey which come in close proximity to the coral polyp are regularly captured by epizoic flatworms instead of the coral); physical blocking of the oral disc of the host; mucus removal from the oral disc; and finally kleptoparasitism.

Using GW as food for fish can play a dual role to maintain good condition of water for better production in one hand and on the other hand, its incorporation may reduce feed cost for the fish production (Anh et al. 2012).

Based on studies in sheep [ 10], increased levels of estrogen near the end of pregnancy may reduce feed intake.

Therefore, it may be possible to reduce feeding frequency in commercial shrimp ponds without adversely affecting water quality, shrimp growth rate and survival, thereby improving farm profitability.

Taken together, these phenotypic observations suggest that fat itself may produce one or more signals to reduce feeding rate in adult invertebrates.

Continuous nasogastric feedings may improve energy efficiency (by increasing energy absorbed and decreasing energy expenditure), reduce feeding intolerance, improve nutrient absorption, and improve growth.

Indeed, some authors have argued that leaves and insects may be so abundant as to constitute a nonlimiting resource (Isbell 1991; Isbell and Young 2002), and a number of studies have indicated that folivores may indeed face reduced feeding competition (Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Steenbeek and van Schaik 2001).

Our design further provided a measure of host preference, as opposed to measuring feeding success, which may be affected by birds' defensive behaviors which may reduce mosquito feeding success [13], [18], [44] [46].

Mothers tend to feed in open areas, presumably to make it easier to detect predators, although this may reduce their feeding efficiency.

This may reduce the feeding sites for root-knot nematodes.
