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

Ecology and Dispersal of the Bedbug [PDF]
, 2012 The global bedbug resurgence has left the scientific community racing to fill large gaps in our understanding of the biology and ecology of this forgotten pest. Studying the ecology of a species so closely associated with humans has inherent difficulties,

The feeding ecology of and carbon and nitrogen budgets for Engraulis capensis in the southern Benguela ecosystem [PDF]
, 1988 Bibliography: leaves 179-231.The two main schools of thought regarding the diets of intermediate microphagous clupeids are: A) that they are herbivorous and B) that they are omnivorous, but consume mainly zooplankton. The former view has been employed to

Observations on the Feeding Ecology of Impala [PDF]
South African Journal of Zoology, 1980 The distribution, habitat preference, and diet of impala in mixed wooded savanna were studied. In the wet season impala were evenly distributed through the different vegetation types and their diet was predominantly grass, but in the dry season they concentrated in areas of Acacia savanna and changed to a mainly browsing diet.

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 mechanisms and ecology of pycnodont fishes (Neopterygii, Pycnodontiformes) [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2001 The functional morphology of the jaw apparatus and the skull and the feeding habits of the extinct pycnodont fishes are reconstructed in comparison with some extant halecostomes.

Ecology and EvolutionFeeding ecology is an essential component of an organism's life, but foraging comes with risks and energetic costs. Species in which populations exhibit more than one feeding strategy, such as sea turtles, are good systems for investigating how feeding ...
