Effect of dietary starch inclusion, feeding level and their combination on nutrient digestibility, bile acid balance, faecal waste production and characteristics of yellowtail king... by Yaqing Zhang, Roel M. Maas, Peter Horstmann Zuther, Jeroen Kals, Satya Prakash, Thomas W.O. Staessen, Fotini Kokou, Johan W. Schrama

“…The latter was associated with a potential depletion of the body bile acid pool as bile acid balances (bile acid intake – faecal bile acid loss) were consistently negative for all diets during both feeding periods. Faecal bile acid loss increased with both increasing feeding level and increasing dietary starch level, which was mainly caused by increased faecal waste production. …”

Diversity of lithophytic moss species in karst regions in response to elevation gradients. by Yalin Jin, Xiurong Wang

“…Among them, wefts and turfs appeared in all elevations, while a small amount of Pendants appeared in the area of elevational gradient I (970-1151m), and the most abundant life form was found in the range of elevational gradient III (1334-1515m); (3) Patrick richness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index were highly significantly (p<0.01) positively correlated, both of which increased and then decreased with elevation, reaching a maximum at elevation gradient III (1334-1515m); The Simpson dominance index had a highly significant (p<0.01) negative correlation with the Patrick richness index and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, which showed a decreasing and then increasing trend with increasing altitude; Pielou evenness index showed no discernible trend; (4) β diversity study revealed that while the similarity coefficient tended to decrease with increasing altitude, the species composition of bryophytes increased. …”
