, 2016 This chapter focuses on conserving forage as hay or silage. Conserving forage is an essential component of ruminant livestock production systems in most temperate climates, but in subtropical and tropical regions the use of hay and silage is not as widespread.

Fidelity to foraging sites after long migrations.
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2019 Patterns of animal movement associated with foraging lie at the heart of many ecological studies and often animals face decisions of staying in an environment they know, versus relocating to new sites.

General Cognitive Ability Predicts Survival-Readiness in Genetically Heterogeneous Laboratory Mice
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Although genetically heterogeneous laboratory mice express individual differences in general cognitive ability (c.f., “intelligence”), it is unknown whether these differences are translated into behaviors that would promote survival.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceLeatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) migrate along the east coast of the United States, traversing the South and Mid-Atlantic Bights (SAB and MAB) while traveling to and from well-known northern foraging areas off Southern New England (SNE) and

A Kiosk Station for the Assessment of Multiple Cognitive Domains and Cognitive Enrichment of Monkeys
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Nonhuman primates (NHP’s) are self-motivated to perform cognitive tasks on touchscreens in their animal housing setting. To leverage this ability, fully integrated hardware and software solutions are needed that work within housing and husbandry routines

A continuous model of ant foraging with pheromones and trail formation
, 2014 We propose and numerically analyze a PDE model of ant foraging behavior. Ant foraging is a prime example of individuals following simple behavioral rules based on local information producing complex, organized and ``intelligent'' strategies at the ...

The Effects of Intraspecific Variation of Crayfish Behavior on Nutrient Cycling in Aquatic Environments [PDF]
, 2020 Human activities are rapidly altering species traits at a global scale. Yet, there remains a critical need to determine whether trait variation within species affects ecosystem responses to global change. In particular, intraspecific variation in feeding

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 For procellariiform seabirds, wind and morphology are crucial determinants of flight costs and flight speeds. During chick‐rearing, parental seabirds commute frequently to provision their chicks, and their body mass typically changes between outbound and

Corticosterone and foraging behaviour in a pelagic seabird [PDF]
, 2007 Because endocrine mechanisms are thought to mediate behavioral responses to changes in the environment, examining these mechanisms is essential for understanding how long-lived seabirds adjust their foraging decisions to contrasting environmental ...
