The evolutionary relationship among beak shape, mechanical advantage, and feeding ecology in modern birds *

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018
Extensive research on avian adaptive radiations has led to a presumption that beak morphology predicts feeding ecology in birds. However, this ecomorphological relationship has only been quantified in a handful of avian lineages, where associations are ...

Feeding ecology of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) in the temperate and tropical western Atlantic

Biological Invasions, 2018
Numerous location-based diet studies have been published describing different aspects of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) feeding ecology, but there has been no synthesis of their diet composition and feeding patterns across ...

Molecular evolutionary trends and feeding ecology diversification in the Hemiptera, anchored by the milkweed bug genome

Genome Biology, 2017
The Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas, and true bugs) are a key insect order, with high diversity for feeding ecology and excellent experimental tractability for molecular genetics.

Stable isotope and signature fatty acid analyses suggest reef manta rays feed on demersal zooplankton. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Assessing the trophic role and interaction of an animal is key to understanding its general ecology and dynamics. Conventional techniques used to elucidate diet, such as stomach content analysis, are not suitable for large threatened marine species.

Feeding ecology underlies the evolution of cichlid jaw mobility

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018
The fish feeding apparatus is among the most diverse functional systems in vertebrates. While morphological and mechanical variations of feeding systems are well studied, we know far less about the diversity of the motions that they produce.

Feeding ecology of Benthosema glaciale across the North Atlantic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The glacier lanternfish Benthosema glaciale is a key myctophid with a wide distribution in the northern Atlantic. It is a species that has a strong vertical migration capacity and have the potential to move between the surface waters and mesopelagic ...
