Blood‐feeding ecology of mosquitoes in zoos

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2012
To determine if the unique host assemblages in zoos influence blood‐feeding by mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), a sampling programme was conducted in Greenville and Riverbanks Zoos, South Carolina, U.S.A., from April 2009 to October 2010.

Ecological Physiology: Feeding

1987
Phagocytosis is an essential feature of protozoan feeding and it is the subject of both this and the following section. Some protozoa acquire additional energy and materials for growth by other mechanisms, such as the uptake of dissolved materials, which will be discussed at the end of this section, while symbiotic relations with photosynthetic ...

Feeding: An Ecological Approach

1979
Publisher Summary Physiological and ecological approaches to comparative studies of feeding behavior have a common basis in energy regulation. This chapter describes energetic determinants of general costs and benefits functions, provides evidence for food choice, meal patterns, and resource exploitation as determined by the economics of energetic ...

Feeding rate as valuable information in primate feeding ecology

Primates, 2009
In this review I outline studies on wild non-human primates using information on feeding rate, which is defined as the food intake per minute on a dry-weight basis; further, I summarize the significance of feeding rate in primate feeding ecology. The optimal foraging theory has addressed three aspects of animal feeding: (1) optimal food patch choice ...

The ecology of animals

2014
Abstract Most biomass consists of plants but most non-microbial species are animals, and these animals play a great diversity of roles in tropical ecosystems. This chapter therefore deals with the ecology of Tropical East Asia from an animal perspective, focusing on the diets of both vertebrates and invertebrates, and the role of food ...

Feeding Tomorrow Ecologically

Reports from the United Nations indicate that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not meeting their targets, at least not according to the proposed timeline. Despite this, the world produces enough food to feed everyone. The crucial task remains to ensure equitable food distribution to those in need and reduce global food wastage.
