Feeding Ecology of Nemipterus japonicus in Beibu Gulf

open access: yesProgress in Fishery Sciences, 2023
The Beibu Gulf is the fourth largest Chinese fishing ground, with rich fishery resources and a significant role in marine fishery production. The feeding ecology of fish is important to explain the structure and function of marine ecosystems.

Improving supplementary feeding in species conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Supplementary feeding is often a knee-jerk reaction to population declines, and its application is not critically evaluated, leading to polarized views among managers on its usefulness. Here, we advocate a more strategic approach to supplementary feeding

Microplastic burden in marine benthic invertebrates depends on species traits and feeding ecology within biogeographical provinces

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression could also affect a species’ risk of contaminant uptake.

Can sacrificial feeding areas protect aquatic plants from herbivore grazing? Using behavioural ecology to inform wildlife management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Effective wildlife management is needed for conservation, economic and human well-being objectives. However, traditional population control methods are frequently ineffective, unpopular with stakeholders, may affect non-target species, and can be both ...

Feeding ecology in sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida): what do we know?

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

The evolutionary ecology of the Lygaeidae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
ERB-S was supported by a Natural Environmental Research Council PhD studentship.The Lygaeidae (sensu lato) are a highly successful family of true bugs found worldwide, yet many aspects of their ecology and evolution remain obscure or unknown. While a few

Ecological insights on the feeding behaviour of waterbirds in an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area of South West Johor Coast, Malaysia [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
Mangroves and mudflats are essential intertidal habitats that support benthic communities, providing critical feeding grounds for waterbirds. However, the degradation of these habitats due to coastal reclamation poses significant threats to prey ...

Feeding of biofilm-dwelling nematodes examined using HPLC-analysis of gut pigment content [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The natural feeding behaviour of the nematodes Chromadorina bioculata (Schultze in Carus 1857) and Chromadorina viridis (Linstow 1876) was studied in situ, within epilithic biofilms of the Garonne River (France).
