Biting to obtain attached benthic prey characterizes a large number of fish species on coral reefs, and is a feeding mode that contributes to important ecosystem functions. We use high-speed video to ...

A new study suggests T rex's short forelimbs were an evolutionary adaptation to prevent accidental amputation during group ...

Vagal afferents originating in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract convey critical satiety signals but have remained challenging to target with precision. Here, we exploited a modified retrograde ...

Knowing when it's time for a meal—and when to stop eating again—is important to survive and to stay healthy, for humans and animals alike. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological ...

The gut does much more than just digest food. Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered a surprising link ...
