Feeding ecology of Serrasalmus gouldingi (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) in the lower Anapu River region, Eastern Amazon, Brazil [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2016 Studies on feeding ecology of fishes are important to understand the relationship between species and environmental seasonal variations. In tropical rivers, these relationships are mainly modeled by hydrological patterns.

Goal-Directed Travel in the Nocturnal Javan Slow Loris (Nycticebus javanicus)
Ecologies, 2023 An animal’s ability to navigate its home range in search of essential resources is a key aspect of its ecology. To reach these resources, animals employ varying navigational processes depending on their exocentric or egocentric view of their environment.

Multilevel feeding ecology – an introduction [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2018 All organisms need to acquire nourishment in sufficient quantity and quality to grow and reproduce. Food sources need to be located and choices need to be made with respect to their favourability. This issue addresses host location (plants by phytophagous insects, prey by predators or parasitoids) and performance (of phytophagous and carnivorous ...

Kinematics and energetics of foraging behavior in Rice’s whales of the Gulf of Mexico
Scientific Reports, 2023 Rorqual foraging behavior varies with species, prey type and foraging conditions, and can be a determining factor for their fitness. Little is known about the foraging ecology of Rice’s whales (Balaenoptera ricei), an endangered species with a population

Feeding ecology in sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida): what do we know?
Frontiers in Zoology, 2018 Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) are a widespread and phylogenetically important group of marine arthropods. However, their biology remains understudied, and detailed information about their feeding ecology is difficult to find.
