Body mass and body fat mass showed seasonal variations,which was higher in winter and lower in summer,food intake also showed significant seasonal variability,which was higher in winter and the lowest
Food restriction reduced body mass and body fat mass,and increased food intake.Serum leptin levels showed significant differences between control group and food restriction group,and leptin levels sho
Food restriction induces a loss of body mass that is often followed by rapid regaining of the lost weight when the restriction ends,consequently increasing a risk of development of obesity.To examine
Objective The present study was aimed to understand the fat cells morphological changes during different periods under cold acclimation in tree shrews,whether the cold acclimation can induce cream-col
As mutualists,seed dispersers may significantly affect mutualistic interactions and seedling recruitment of sympatric plants that share similar seed dispersers,but such studies are rare.Here,we compar
Chinese yew(Taxus chinensis var.mariei)is a very slowly-growing and long-lived tree species widely distributed throughout southern China.After ripening,the cones develop fleshy arils surrounding a sin
The contribution of forest generalists and specialists to the dispersal pattern of tree species is not well understood.Specialists are considered low-quality dispersers because their dispersal distanc
