A novel record of aardwolf Proteles cristata feeding behaviour [PDF]
, 2013 Terrestrial members of the order Carnivora show great variation in their diet; some specialising on vertebrates, invertebrates, or plant matter, whereas others are omnivores or scavengers (Bekoff et al, 1984).

Specialized specialists and the narrow niche fallacy: a tale of scale-feeding fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Although rare within the context of 30 000 species of extant fishes, scale-feeding as an ecological strategy has evolved repeatedly across the teleost tree of life.

Brown planthopper (N. lugens Stal) feeding behaviour on rice germplasm as an indicator of resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) is a serious pest of rice in Asia. Development of novel control strategies can be facilitated by comparison of BPH feeding behaviour on varieties exhibiting natural genetic variation, and ...

White-headed Vultures Trigonoceps occipitalis show visual field characteristics of hunting raptors [PDF]
, 2017 The visual fields of Aegypiinae vultures have been shown to be adapted primarily to meet two key perceptual challenges of their obligate carrion-feeding behaviour: scanning the ground and preventing the sun’s image falling upon the retina.
