From:Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol. 86, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe assessed the diet of two morphologically similar bats (Myotis lucifugus (LeConte, 1831) and Myotis keenii (Merriam, 1895)), which both used hydrothermally heated nursery roosts at Gandll K'in Gwaayaay (Hotspring...

From:The Wilson Journal of Ornithology (Vol. 120, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe provide documentation on the first observations of nocturnal foraging by the Blue-crowned Motmot (Momotus momota). The motmot we observed mainly fed on sphinx (Sphingidae) moths; the capture rate seemed low for this...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Karin Moll 1 , 2 , * , Flavio Roces 3 , Walter Federle 1 Introduction The fitness of an animal primarily depends on the quality and quantity of food [1]. In social insects, individual workers are...

From:Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol. 84, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: The diet and foraging behaviour of nine individual Baltic ringed seals (Phoca hispida botnica Gmelin, 1785) in the Bothnian Bay were studied by combining results from stable isotope analyses ([[delta].sup.13]C...

From:The American Midland Naturalist (Vol. 169, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedIn 1998, after 160 y without documented nesting, Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) recolonized Leech Lake, Minnesota. Competition for nesting space with the state threatened Common Tern (Sterna hirundo),...

From:Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol. 86, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: The specific nutritional characteristics by which herbivores evaluate their foraging options are complex. We experimentally manipulated the crude protein and water content of two forage species (Carex...

From:Marine Biology (Vol. 161, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMany species of marine organisms go through ontogenetic shifts that occur in unknown or inaccessible locations. Finding these areas is crucial to understand connectivity and resilience of populations, both of which have...

From:Marine Biology (Vol. 161, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedHow central-place foragers change search strategy in response to environmental conditions is poorly known. Foragers may vary the total distance traveled and how far they range from the central place in response to...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedEven as demand for their services increases, honey bees (Apis mellifera) and other pollinating insects continue to decline in Europe and North America. Honey bees face many challenges, including an issue generally...
-
From:Marine Biology (Vol. 161, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedForaging theory predicts that animals will adjust their foraging behavior in order to maximize net energy intake and that trade-offs may exist that can influence their behavior. although substantial advances have been...
-
From:Wilson Bulletin (Vol. 117, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe used radio-telemetry techniques to determine hourly activity patterns of 29 juvenile Lilac-crowned Parrots (Amazona finschi) during 1996-2000 in tropical dry forest of Jalisco, Mexico. Parrots had two peak activity...

From:Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol. 89, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedMost studies relating bat morphology to flight ecology have concentrated on the wing membrane. Here, canonical variance analysis showed that the ear and tail morphologies of bats also strongly relate to foraging...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol. 91, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedSpecies-specific variations in wing morphology and echolocation call characteristics often define which of three structural habitat types (open, cluttered, and edge) different bat species most frequently and efficiently...
-
From:Marine Biology (Vol. 162, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedIntra-specific differences in foraging behaviour can have fitness consequences, especially during breeding. We combined GPS tracking data from 34 lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus) encompassing 2029 foraging trips...
-
From:PeerJ (Vol. 5) Peer-ReviewedVideo playback is becoming a common method for manipulating social stimuli in experiments. Parid tits are one of the most commonly studied groups of wild birds. However, it is not yet clear if tits respond to video...

From:Marine Biology (Vol. 165, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus and the common jellyfish Aurelia aurita are keystone species in many marine ecosystems, including the shallow cove Kertinge Nor, in Denmark. Both species feed on...
-
From:Marine Biology (Vol. 165, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIntra-population resource partitioning is a foraging strategy that could minimize intra-specific competition. This behavior may be ecologically relevant for species in recovery like the Guadalupe fur seal Arctocephalus...
-
From:California Agriculture (Vol. 43, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedWild pigs cause around $1 billion of damage to agriculture in the United States each year -- foraging on crops, breaking branches and vines, and damaging irrigation lines and fences -- but little is known about how and...

From:Marine Biology (Vol. 165, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedMarine predators frequently exhibit consistency in foraging behaviors despite the dynamic nature of marine ecosystems, which has the potential for ecological and evolutionary implications depending on the timescale at...
