• Nutritional Ecology of Ateles chamek in lowland Bolivia: How Macronutrient Balancing Influences Food Choices (2009, result): “contrast to this view and other major schools of thought in nutritional ecology (Dearing et al. 2005; Freeland and Janzen 1974; Mattson 1980; Schoener 1971; White 1993), Felton et al.”
• Educated predators make strategic decisions to eat defended prey according to their toxin content (2012, background): “Consequently, animals have evolved a range of different adaptations, both physiological and behavioral (e.g., De Souza et al. 2002; Dearing et al. 2005; Hanifin et al. 2008) that enable them to ingest toxic foods.”
• Learning about aposematic prey (2016, background): “to help regulate their ingestion of PSMs and balance their nutrient intake (Freeland and Janzen 1974; Singer et al. 2002; Dearing et al. 2005; Ginane et al. 2005; Marsh et al. 2006), how they decide which cues to use and what factors affect how, when, and what they learn are largely unknown.”
• Nutritional toxicology of mammals: regulated intake of plant secondary compounds (2009, background): “These enzymes are primarily located in the liver; however, some occur in the small intestine and work in tandem with efflux transporters that eject toxins or their metabolites out of the body and back to the gut (Dearing et al. 2005; Sorensen & Dearing 2006).”
• Protein content of diets dictates the daily energy intake of a free-ranging primate (2009, background): “…maximization of energy intake (Schoener 1971); 2) the maximization of nitrogen intake (Mattson 1980; White 1993); 3) the avoidance of toxins (Freeland and Janzen 1974; Dearing et al. 2005); and 4) the acquisition of a nutritionally balanced diet (Raubenheimer and Simpson 2004; Robbins et al. 2007).”
