Separate effects of macronutrient concentration and balance on plastic gut responses in locusts.

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

Raubenheimer David, Bassil Kate

Abstract excerpt

It is well established that animal guts are phenotypically plastic, adjusting inter-alia to diet quality. However, the relative contributions due to the two principal dimensions of diet "quality"--nutrient concentration and nutrient balance--remain to be teased apart. We report an experiment usin...
