A new camera-trap** device, the Campascope, to study feeding behaviour of subterranean rodents
Rodents are significant animals in the field of science and serve as common study models in several disciplines. However, their behaviours are...

Phase-shifting the circadian glucocorticoid profile induces disordered feeding behaviour by dysregulating hypothalamic neuropeptide gene expression
Here we demonstrate, in rodents, how the timing of feeding behaviour becomes disordered when circulating glucocorticoid rhythms are dissociated from...

Persistence of nanoemulsions of bioactive volatiles and their impact on aphid feeding behaviour
Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are two of the most significant aphid species acting as vectors for plant viruses in...

Are brood sex ratios adaptive? – The effect of experimentally altered brood sex ratios on parental feeding behaviour
AbstractCorrelations between brood sex ratios (BSRs) and parental or environmental quality have been found in many species. This phenomenon is called...

The first insight into hunting and feeding behaviour of the Eurasian lynx in the Western Carpathians
In Europe, the Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx ) has suffered from intensive persecution due to competition with hunters, resulting in its extermination in...

Feeding potential and foraging behaviour of cheilomenes sexmaculata (F.) on cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)
Feeding potential and foraging behavior are complimentary to determine the efficiency of a predator. The predatory potential of both grub and adult...

Feeding Behaviour of a Pyrethroid-Resistant Strain of the German Cockroach Blattella germanica (Linnaeus, 1767)
Many authors report biological differences among insecticide-resistant pest species, mainly associated with parameters of life history, but only a...

Aquatic Feeding in Lissamphibia
Modern amphibians are referred to as Lissamphibia and comprise the three extant groups: Anura (frogs and toads), Caudata (salamanders and newts) and...

Effects of temperature on the movement and feeding behaviour of the large lupine beetle, Sitona gressorius
Even though the effects of insect pests on global agricultural productivity are well recognised, little is known about movement and dispersal of many...

Minke whale feeding rate limitations suggest constraints on the minimum body size for engulfment filtration feeding
Bulk filter feeding has enabled gigantism throughout evolutionary history. The largest animals, extant rorqual whales, utilize intermittent...

The role of serotonin in modulating common waxbill behaviour
AbstractSerotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoaminergic neurotransmitter that is known to influence behaviour in various animal species....

Plasticity in expression of fruit fly larval feeding clusters in response to changes in food quality and distribution
Joining a social group entails a range of possible costs and benefits, with the balance of pros and cons potentially dependent on the specific...

Seasonal food changes and feeding behaviour adaptations of savanna chimpanzees at Nguye in Ugalla, Tanzania
We studied the feeding strategies of savanna chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) at Nguye in Ugalla, Western Tanzania (05°13'S, 30°28'E). Among the driest...

AgRP neurons control feeding behaviour at cortical synapses via peripherally derived lysophospholipids
Phospholipid levels are influenced by peripheral metabolism. Within the central nervous system, synaptic phospholipids regulate glutamatergic...

Foraging Behaviour
In this chapter, we consider practical aspects of the foraging behaviour of insect natural enemies in its widest sense (so wide that we even include...

Blood meal analysis reveals an aggregated feeding pattern for sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Turkey
Turkey is among the countries where sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are responsible for the endemic presence of leishmaniasis. Understanding the...

Detrimental impact of a heatwave on male reproductive behaviour and fertility
Understanding how heatwaves impact on different aspects of mating behaviour and fertility is getting increasingly important. In this context,...

A neural circuit for the suppression of feeding under persistent pain
In humans, persistent pain often leads to decreased appetite. However, the neural circuits underlying this behaviour remain unclear. Here, we show...

Co-habiting ants and silverfish display a converging feeding ecology
BackgroundVarious animal taxa have specialized to living with social hosts. Depending on their level of specialization, these symbiotic animals are...
