“…Although overall assimilation efficiency has often been found to be temperature independent (Van Damme et al, 1991;Ji et al, 1996;Du et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2003;Zhang and Ji, 2004;McConnachie and Alexander, 2004), nutrient-specific assimilation can either increase or decrease with temperature (Pafilis et al, 2007;Karameta et al, 2017). The recovery of 13 C in faeces of lizards that consumed crickets spiked with 13 C-leucine diminished with temperature, whereas it remained unaltered in lizards that received 13 C-palmiticacid-spiked crickets.…”

“…Digestion, a crucial function for nutrient absorption, rules energy acquisition (Karasov et al, 2011). There are many parameters affecting the digestive performance in lizards and, as mentioned above, gut passage time (GPT) is one of them (Pafilis et al, 2016;Sagonas et al, 2017;Karameta et al, 2017b). The latter may be affected by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as temperature, length of the gastrointestinal tract, body size and age (Van Damme et al, 1991, Du et al, 2000Pafilis et al, 2016;Sanabria et al, 2020).…”

“…Stable isotope analysis of tooth and skin suggested that mass-specific protein consumption declines during ontogeny in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncates, (Knoff et al, 2008)). Similarly, in turtles (Trachemys scripta, (Bouchard and Bjorndal, 2006)), lizards (Stellagama stellio, (Karameta et al, 2017)), and sturgeons (Acipenser persicus, (Babaei et al, 2011)), food preference, digestive efficiency, and digestive enzymatic activities indicate decreasing mass-specific protein assimilation and need as ontogeny progresses. Changes in milk composition through ontogeny also suggest that offspring nutritional requirements shift from protein-biased to energy (lipid + carbohydrate)-biased with age.…”
