A silvery, marine food fish, the only living member of the family Chanidae, order Gonorhynchiformes; fossils date from the Cretaceous.  6, record 1, English, - milkfish

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The milkfish is often collected when young and raised for food in brackish or freshwater tropical ponds. It is a toothless herbivore 0. 6 to 1. 5 metres(2 to 5 feet) long with a deeply forked tail. It is found throughout warmer regions of the Pacific and Indian oceans...  6, record 1, English, - milkfish

A plant that supplies shelter or food or both to ants, that lives symbiotically with ants or that is fertilized by them.  5, record 3, English, - myrmecophyte

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The obligate myrmecophytes provide food for the ants(in the form of nutrient rich food bodies) and the ants protect the plants against herbivore damage and climbers. Our recent studies show that this myrmecophytic system is much more complex concerning life types and species diversity than formerly supposed.  6, record 3, English, - myrmecophyte

myrmecophyte: According to the Webster’s and the Oxford English Dictionaries, this term can only be used as a noun; the corresponding adjectival form is "myrmecophytic".  5, record 3, English, - myrmecophyte

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Les plantes myrmécophiles sont des arbres des régions tropicales qui abritent des fourmis dans des cavités et des renflements de la tige et des feuilles, en communication avec l'extérieur par de petits orifices. Ce serait une véritable association à bénéfices réciproques : la plante héberge et nourrit les fourmis, et celles-ci la défendent contre ses ennemis.  5, record 3, French, - plante%20myrm%C3%A9cophile

Circumvention of plants’ elemental defences by their predators may occur in three ways: selective feeding on low-metal tissues, use of a varied diet to dilute metal-containing food (likely more efficient in large-sized herbivores), and tolerance of high dietary metal content.  2, record 4, English, - selective%20feeding

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Selective feeding of herbivores may also lead to changes in vegetation composition. Herbivory may further cause a thinning of plant populations, which may lead to increased growth of the remaining plants, and thus compensation of the herbivore damage.  3, record 4, English, - selective%20feeding

Les défenses élémentales des plantes sont circonvenues par leurs prédateurs de trois façons : (a) nourrissement sélectif sur des tissus à concentration en métaux peu élevée, (b) régime varié pour diluer le métal (vraisemblable pour les herbivores de grande taille relativement aux plantes), et (c) tolérance de hautes concentrations de métal.  1, record 4, French, - nourrissement%20s%C3%A9lectif

Supposons (...) que les vaches ne broutent que 50% de l'herbe (...) [d'une] prairie [de 1 ha]. Le montant de l'énergie consommée par les vaches est donc 0,38% de l'énergie solaire incidente. Dans notre exemple, cela représente 9,5 millions kcal/ha/an : c'est la productivité herbivore brute (P.H.B.). Généralement, 90% de cette énergie alimentaire est perdue en tant que respiration et déjection, laissant seulement 10% comme viande, soit 950 000 kcal/ha/an : c'est la productivité herbivore nette (P.H.N.).  1, record 6, French, - productivit%C3%A9%20herbivore%20nette
