Effects of diet quality on phenotypic flexibility of organ size and digestive function in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus).

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Jul 2007

Liu Quan-Sheng, Wang De-Hua

Abstract excerpt

In the context of evolution and ecology, there is a trade-off between the benefits of processing food through a digestive system with specific phenotypic attributes and the cost of maintaining and carrying the digestive system. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that digestive modulations at...
