Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Quantifying prey characteristics is important for understanding the foraging behaviour of predators, which ultimately influence the structure and function of entire ecosystems. However, information available on prey is often at magnitudes which cannot be

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2007 Breeding seabirds are threatened by human activities that affect nesting and foraging habitat. In Canada, one of the seabirds most at risk of extirpation is the Roseate Tern, Sterna dougallii. Although critical nesting habitat has been identified for the

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sea turtles are exposed to numerous threats during migrations to their foraging grounds and at those locations. Therefore, information on sea turtle foraging and spatial ecology can guide conservation initiatives, yet it is difficult to directly observe ...

Warmer Ambient Temperatures Depress Detoxification and Food Intake by Marsupial Folivores
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Ambient temperature is an underappreciated determinant of foraging behaviour in wild endotherms, and the requirement to thermoregulate likely influences food intake through multiple interacting mechanisms.

Alternation emerges as a multi-modal strategy for turbulent odor navigation
eLife, 2022 Foraging mammals exhibit a familiar yet poorly characterized phenomenon, ‘alternation’, a pause to sniff in the air preceded by the animal rearing on its hind legs or raising its head.

Physical Review E, 2018 We introduce the \emph{frugal foraging} model in which a forager performs a discrete-time random walk on a lattice, where each site initially contains $\mathcal{S}$ food units. The forager metabolizes one unit of food at each step and starves to death when it last ate $\mathcal{S}$ steps in the past. Whenever the forager decides to eat, it consumes all

Constricted spatiotemporal foraging of the regenerating salamander, Bolitoglossa mombachoensis
Ecosphere, 2019 Bolitoglossa mombachoensis is an endemic neotropical salamander of the Mombacho Volcano, Nicaragua. Canopy communities within the tropics are hubs for biodiversity, and many tropical plethodontids have a foraging preference for epiphytic plants, such as ...

The Utility of Scatter Feeding as Enrichment: Do Broiler Chickens Engage with Scatter–Fed Items?
Animals, 2021 In recent years, welfare certification companies have encouraged the use of scatter feeding as enrichment material, though there is little scientific evidence to support a scatter feeding program.
