Hard-object feeding in sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) and interpretation of early hominin feeding ecology. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Morphology of the dentofacial complex of early hominins has figured prominently in the inference of their dietary adaptations. Recent theoretical analysis of craniofacial morphology of Australopithecus africanus proposes that skull form in this taxon ...

Taking a stab at modelling canine tooth biomechanics in mammalian carnivores with beam theory and finite-element analysis

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
Canine teeth are vital to carnivore feeding ecology, facilitating behaviours related to prey capture and consumption. Forms vary with specific feeding ecologies; however, the biomechanics that drive these relationships have not been comprehensively ...

Food, Feeding Behavior and Feeding Ecology of Nemerteans [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Zoologist, 1985
The feeding biology of nemerteans is reviewed, new information is presented, and the role of nemerteans in natural communities is discussed and evaluated. Most nemerteans are carnivorous, the majority feeding on live, often specific, prey, while some are scavengers.

Led by the nose: Olfaction in primate feeding ecology

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology (print), 2015
Olfaction, the sense of smell, was a latecomer to the systematic investigation of primate sensory ecology after long years in which it was considered to be of minor importance.

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Feeding habit and diet composition of Glossogobius aureus Akihito & Meguro, 1975 in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2023
Glossogobius aureus (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae) is a target fish and widely distributed in the Mekong Delta, from fresh to brackish waters. However, knowledge on its food and feeding ecology is scarce.

Influences of ocean conditions and feeding ecology on the survival of juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

open access: yes, 2016
Recruitment variability in many fish populations is postulated to be influenced by climatic and oceanographic variability. However, a mechanistic understanding of the influence of specific variables on recruitment is generally lacking. Feeding ecology is

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Trophic and feeding ecology of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) using bulk stable isotope analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Fish Science
IntroductionDespite their size, relatively passive behavior, and commercial significance, knowledge of the behavioral ecology of whale sharks remains limited.
