Male but not female Kentish plovers Charadrius alexandrinus modulate foraging behaviour according to tide during incubation
During breeding, birds have to find a balance between reproductive tasks and the need to recover their energy. Foraging movements are constrained in...

Foraging movements and important sites for conservation of the West African Crested Tern Thalasseus albididorsalis breeding in Guinea-Bissau
Assessing at-sea distributions and behaviour of seabirds to identify critical foraging sites and spatial overlap with potential threats is a major...

Develo** and Evaluating a New Method and Apparatus for Examining Bumble Bee Foraging Behavior
AbstractA key question in pollination biology is that of how pollinators identify and choose foraging patches. Several approaches have been employed...

Foraging microhabitat preferences of invertivorous fishes within tropical macroalgal meadows: identification of canopy specialists
Invertivorous fishes are key middle-order consumers that connect energy flows across different trophic levels. However, the potential for distinct...

Spatial difference in feeding habits but similar foraging strategy for energy acquisition in jumbo squid
Obtaining sufficient energy is vital for maintaining basal functions and supporting physiological activities, but there is still a lack of empirical...

Sexual segregation in the foraging distribution, behaviour, and trophic niche of the endemic Boyd’s shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri boydi)
Studies on sex-specific segregation in foraging behaviour and trophic niche have been focussed on large and dimorphic seabirds, with less information...

More-Than-Human Urban Foraging: Designing Landscapes for Multispecies Sustainability in Shrinking Urban Japan
Can a city be turned into a more-than-human feast? Edible landscapes are increasingly valued for their multiple socio-ecological benefits. Here we...

Complete seasonal surveillance of Greylag Goose (Anser anser) foraging behavior on dairy grassland and the effect of limited lethal scaring
In northern Norway, an increasing population of Greylag Geese ( Anser anser ) forages considerably on dairy grassland and can eat up to 60% of the...

Shark teeth zinc isotope values document intrapopulation foraging differences related to ontogeny and sex
Trophic ecology and resource use are challenging to discern in migratory marine species, including sharks. However, effective management and...

Photo-identification shows the spatio-temporal distribution of two sea turtle species in a Brazilian developmental foraging ground
Sea turtles spend most of their life cycle in foraging grounds. Research in developmental habitats is crucial to understanding individual dynamics...

Diet and foraging behavior of the Abyssinian Lovebird (Agapornis taranta Stanley, 1814) in Tigray National Regional State, Northern Ethiopia
Modification of an animals' natural habitat can lead to either a shift in the foraging choice and/or local extinction. Whilst avian species feeding...

Case report: tracking data from foraging hawksbill turtles in the northern Red Sea
BackgroundHawksbill turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) are Critically Endangered throughout their global range, and concerningly little is known about...
-
Stable isotopes and foraging behaviors support the role of antipredator benefits in driving the association between two marine fishes
Research from terrestrial communities shows that diminished predation risk is a principal driver of heterospecific grou** behavior, with foraging...

Studying foraging behavior to improve bait sprays application to control Drosophila suzukii
BackgroundForaging behavior in insects is optimised for locating scattered resources in a complex environment. This behavior can be exploited for use...

Dive Types Matter: They Reveal the Foraging Ecology of Elephant Seals
The different two-dimensional shapes of dives of reveal much about the foraging ecology of elephant seals (Mirounga spp.). We give a brief history of...

Evaluating the cues that coordinate a shift towards the robbing foraging tactic in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
AbstractIn a social species like the honey bee ( Apis mellifera ), changes in foraging strategy require shifts in several groups of specialized...
-
Territoriality constrains foraging activity and has carry-over effects on reproductive investment
Colonial breeding provides benefits such as reduced predation risk, but also entails costs due to the enhanced levels of competition. In particular,...

Complex preference relationships between native and non-native angiosperms and foraging insect visitors in a suburban greenspace under field and laboratory conditions
The introduction and spread of non-native flora threatens native pollinators and plants. Non-native angiosperms can compete with native plants for...

Deconstructing and contextualizing foraging behavior in bumble bees and other central place foragers
Bumble bee foragers provide essential pollination services in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, foraging is not monolithic; rather,...

Case report: first data on the foraging behaviour of velvet scoters (Melanitta fusca) in soft-bottom coastal waters of the southeast Baltic Sea
BackgroundThe foraging behaviour of sea ducks has always been difficult to study due to their exclusive occupancy of coastal waters during the...
