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...

Markerless tracking of bumblebee foraging allows for new metrics of bee behavior and demonstrations of increased foraging efficiency with experience
Bumblebees have become model organisms for cognitive ecology and social learning. Quantifying the foraging behavior of free-flying bees, however,...

Urban Foraging for Social-Ecological Resilience in the Global South
Urban foraging, a traditional human–nature interaction, has been fairly well documented globally. However, its relevance is being realized in terms...
-
Thermal vulnerability of sea turtle foraging grounds around the globe
Anticipating and mitigating the impacts of climate change on biodiversity requires a comprehensive understanding on key habitats utilized by species....

Thermal physiology, foraging pattern, and worker body size interact to influence coexistence in sympatric polymorphic harvester ants (Messor spp.)
AbstractPhysiological thermal limits can mediate species coexistence at local scales. However, it is challenging to untangle the role they play when...

Foraging Strategies
Parastrachia japonensis Scott (Heteroptera: Cydnidae) females progressively provision nests with drupes of the host treeHost Host tree , Schoepfia...

From route to dive: multi-scale habitat selection in a foraging tropical seabird
Comprehending how environmental variability shapes foraging behaviour across habitats is key to unlocking insights into consumer ecology. Seabirds...

Foraging Ecology and Behavior
Phocid seals exhibit a range of body sizes and life-history traits. They forage at a wide range of spatial scales from long-distance oceanic...
-
The relationship between preference and switching in flower foraging by bees
It seems self-evident that generalist foragers switch more between resources than specialists but despite diverse ecological and evolutionary...

Dearth period pollen foraging pattern by Apis mellifera L., Apis cerana indica F. and Tetragonula bengalensis C. in lower Gangetic alluvium of West Bengal, India: a comparative study
Bees rely exclusively on pollen and nectar-producing plants for strengthening their colonies and production of honey. In beekee**, dearth period...

Individual flexibility in group foraging behaviour of reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi)
AbstractFlexibility in animal foraging strategies can increase overall feeding efficiency for individuals. For example, group foraging can increase...

Competition through ritualized aggressive interactions between sympatric colonies in solitary foraging neotropical ants
Understanding the structure of food competition between conspecifics in their natural settings is paramount to addressing more complex questions in...

Understanding Urban Foraging Concepts in Fast Expanding Urban Areas in Indian Himalayan Region: Lessons from Himachal Pradesh, India
The rapid expansion of urban areas in the Indian Himalayan Region presents a complex interplay between urban development and the preservation of...

Hierarchical foraging strategies of migratory short-tailed shearwaters during the non-breeding stage
Foraging specialisations are common in animal populations, because they increase the rate at which individuals acquire food from a known and reliable...

Resin foraging interactions in stingless bees: an ecological synthesis using multilayer networks
Stingless bees use resins for nest construction, colony defense, and production of cerumen, propolis, and geopropolis. Despite their importance,...

Foraging behavior and the nest architecture of a high-Andean stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) revealed by X-ray computerized tomography
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) are key pollinators of both cultivated and wild plants in tropical and subtropical areas of the...
-
A comparative analysis of foraging route development by bumblebees and honey bees
Many pollinators, such as bees, hummingbirds and bats, use multi-destination routes (traplines) to exploit familiar plant resources. However, it is...

The beneficial role of plant secondary compounds in giant panda foraging ecology
Forage selection by mammalian herbivores has shown to be influenced by plant nutritional content, but the role of plant secondary compounds (PSCs) on...

Foraging areas of Orlog’s gulls in an estuarine ecosystem of Argentina: are they underprotected?
Worldwide, seabird populations are facing significant declines due to various threats, making them valuable bioindicators of marine ecosystem...

Seabirds show foraging site and route fidelity but demonstrate flexibility in response to local information
BackgroundFidelity to a given foraging location or route may be beneficial when environmental conditions are predictable but costly if conditions...
