• Herbivore dung as food for dung beetles: elementary coprology for entomologists (2016, background): “Insects are also unable to synthesise the basic four-ring chemical structure of steroids and require a suitable source of these compounds, typically cholesterol, from their food or microbial symbionts (e.g. Chapman, 1998; Nation, 2002).”
• In the light of new greenhouse technologies: 2. Direct effects of artificial lighting on arthropods and integrated pest management in greenhouse crops (2011, background): “They have high spatial resolution (Prokopy & Owens, 1983; Warrant & Nilsson, 2006), which allows the insects to detect colour, shape, pattern, contrast and motion, and provide information for navigation (Nation, 2002; Stavenga, 2002; Qiu & Arikawa, 2003; Klowden, 2007).”
• Female swordtail fish use chemical cues to select well-fed mates (2006, background): “…male and female meadow voles, Microtus pennsylvanicus, are attracted to the odour of opposite-sex conspecifics on a high-protein diet; however, this study did not exclude the possibility that individuals were attracted to protein by-products, such as volatile amino acids in urine (Nation 2002).”
• Making eggs from nectar: the role of life history and dietary carbon turnover in butterfly reproductive resource allocation (2004, background): “Eggs are biochemically complex, containing primarily protein and lipid, but also glycogen granules, hydrocarbons, and nucleic acids (Nation 2002).”
