Macroalgal traits and the feeding and fitness of an herbivorous amphipod: the roles of selectivity, mixing, and compensation (2001, methodology): “Patterns similar to these have been found for other amphipods within the genus Ampithoe (Cruz-Rivera & Hay 2000b) and for terrestrial insects (Bernays & Minkenberg 1997).”
Stoichiometry: Linking elements to biochemicals (2004, background): “Many animals, particularly those utilizing uniformly poor diets, are able to perform compensatory feeding, ingesting large excesses of unwanted substrates in order to obtain the dietary nutrients they require (Cruz-Rivera and Hay 2000, White et al. 2000).”
NUTRIENT ENHANCEMENT INCREASES PERFORMANCE OF A MARINE HERBIVORE VIA QUALITY OF ITS FOOD ALGA (2002, background): “In contrast to observations on certain species of marine amphipods (Cruz-Rivera and Hay 2000a), I. baltica seems to be unable to compensate for the lower quality of algal food by increasing its food consumption.”
Natural densities of mesograzers fail to limit growth of macroalgae or their epiphytes in a temperate algal bed (2009, background): “…to alter the relative abundance of hosts in the field via direct consumption of their host, strong preferences among available food resources, and differences in performance once consuming these resources (Duffy & Hay 1994; Poore & Steinberg 1999; Cruz-Rivera & Hay 2000; Taylor & Steinberg 2005).”
Feeding rates of common Antarctic gammarid amphipods on ecologically important sympatric macroalgae (2006, methodology): “If soluble protein content is considered a proxy for nutritional value (Cruz-Rivera and Hay, 2000a,b), it is clear from our regression analysis that there is no significant correlation between algal nutritional value and consumption rates of amphipods presented with macroalgal food pellets.”
Effects of nitrogen concentrations in turtlegrass Thalassia testudinum on consumption by the bucktooth parrotfish Sparisoma radians (2005, background): “Previous studies have suggested that low nitrogen concentration is not always effective due to compensatory feeding (Cruz-Rivera & Hay 2000, Valentine & Heck 2001).”
Seagrass selection by omnivorous and herbivorous consumers: determining factors (2011, background): “Nutrient-poor diets, however, may also enhance consumption rates through compensatory feeding responses to circumvent the effects of low nutritional quality (Cruz-Rivera & Hay 2000).”
Grasshoppers cope with low host plant quality by compensatory feeding and food selection : N limitation challenged (2005, methodology): “However, studies with crustaceans (Cruz-Rivera and Hay 2000) and bugs (Di Giulio and Edwards 2003) recently demonstrated that some herbivores are able to overcome N shortage while close relatives are indeed strongly N limited.”
