Do provisioning ecosystem services change along gradients of increasing agricultural production?
ContextIncreasing agricultural production shapes the flow of ecosystem services (ES), including provisioning services that support the livelihoods...

Variation in the trophic niche and food provisioning between the early and late chick-rearing stages in Magellanic penguins Spheniscus magellanicus at Martillo Island, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Variation in the foraging niche and parental provisioning behaviors of breeding seabirds have the potential to affect population dynamics (e.g....

Extended parental care in the mass provisioning silk wasp, Microstigmus rosae
AbstractInsurance-based mechanisms, where surviving group-members can complete parental care after the death of a nestmate, are key to the origin of...

Informal ready-to-eat food vending: a social practice perspective on urban food provisioning in Nigeria
The way people access food in Nigeria is of central relevance for food security, health and sustainability. One key trend is the shift from...

Differential provisioning roles, prey size, and prey abundance shape the dynamic feeding behavior of gray wolves
The demands of raising dependent young can influence the feeding behaviors of social carnivores, especially for individuals that are primarily...

Self-interest precludes prosocial juice provisioning in a free choice group experiment in bonobos
Previous studies on prosociality in bonobos have reported contrasting results, which might partly be explained by differences in experimental...

Giant babax (Babax waddelli) helpers cheat at provisioning nestlings in poor conditions
AbstractIn cooperatively breeding species, helpers take higher risks of getting lower return of investment than breeders due to the incongruity...

Neither paternity loss nor perceived threat of cuckoldry affects male nestling provisioning in grass wrens
AbstractExtra-pair paternity (EPP) is frequent in socially monogamous birds with biparental care. However, males should avoid providing care to...

Cooperative parental performance at chick provisioning in a small passerine, the Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus
AbstractSexual conflict has long been perceived as a solid background for the evolution of parental care. Recent studies, however, highlight the...

Maternal Provisioning of Alkaloid Defenses are Present in Obligate but not Facultative Egg Feeding Dendrobatids
Poison frogs sequester alkaloid defenses from a diet of largely mites and ants. As a result, frogs are defended against certain predators and...

Jellyfish blooms challenge the provisioning of ecosystem services in the Korean coastal waters
Temperate fisheries grounds are exposed to compound effects of jellyfish proliferations and fishing pressure, which affect local fisheries, cause...

Carcass provisioning and intra-guild risk avoidance between two sympatric large carnivores
AbstractApex carnivores that rely primarily on predation play a central but complex role within scavenging ecology by potentially suppressing...

Fruit provisioning of an invasive tree (Triadica sebifera) varies with environment and among populations
Plants vary in their reproductive allocation to embryo provisioning and seed dispersal. This may be mediated by genetic and/or environmental factors,...
