Starvation in Subterranean Species Versus Surface-Dwelling Species: Crustaceans, Fish, and Salamandhibit high temporal and spatial patchiness of food availability. Therefore, hypogean organisms often cope with periods of starvation that can last a few weeks to a few months. Subterranean species generally exhibit specific adaptations to long-term food deprivation and show a higher resistance to st

Physiological Responses to Starvation in Snakes: Low Energy Specialists,iated both by controlled studies of individuals and wild populations of snakes. Here we summarize morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses to food limitation among several distantly related snake species. Controlled studies revealed that the three traditional phases of fasting (i.e.,

Cardiovascular Circuits and Digestive Function of Intermittent-Feeding Sauropsids,They also show a remarkably complicated and diverse morphology of their cardiovascular circuitry and cardiovascular functioning. In particular, many species have the option to bypass the pulmonary (or the systemic) circulation by redirecting blood into the systemic (or pulmonary) circulation, respec

In this review we demonstrate that it is the extraordinary ability of birds to extensively store and use lipids as the main energy source which allows them to fast

Tissue-Specific Mass Changes During Fasting: The Protein Turnover Hypothesis,c flexibility is often explained in relation to changes in functional demands in response to environmental change. A new hypothesis suggests that the rate of tissue-specific degradation during fasting is related to the tissue-specific rate of protein turnover. This hypothesis predicts allometric sca

The response occurs at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels and mainly concerns the intestinal wall. After a feeding episode, this response leads to a rapid decrease in gut length and mass, as well as enzyme activities, protein synthesis and the expression o
