What they do in the shadows : habitat utilisation and diet of brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) adults within a high-density island population : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2015 Exploring the complex interactions between an animal and its spatial environment can reveal much about its biology and behaviour and identify strategies to improve future management.

Science Advances, 2015 The world’s largest predators, blue whales, switch strategies to maximize foraging efficiency as a function of prey density and depth. Terrestrial predators can modulate the energy used for prey capture to maximize efficiency, but diving animals face the

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Ecology and EvolutionDue to anthropogenic climate change, there is substantial interest in how temperature variation impacts reproduction and survival in animal populations; however, the underlying mechanisms are often poorly understood.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Resource availability is a key environmental constraint affecting the ecology and evolution of species. Resources have strong effects on disease resistance, but they can also affect the other main parasite defense strategy, tolerance. A small but growing

Prey Resource Utilization by Coexistent Hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, Washington, USA [PDF]
, 2002 Prey selection patterns were quantified for a sympatric group of hydromedusae from Friday Harbor, WA. Selection patterns varied between species, but were largely replicable between sample dates and resembled dietary patterns found in similar studies from

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

The effect of target scarcity on visual foraging
Royal Society Open SciencePrevious studies have investigated the effect of target prevalence in combination with the effect of explicit target value on human visual foraging strategies, though the conclusions have been mixed.
