European Journal of Entomology, 2000 Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) have been reported to produce winged offspring in the presence of predatory ladybirds. These offspring may leave host plants by flight after they have developed into winged adults.

eLife, 2020 The function of the central nervous system to regulate food intake can be disrupted by sustained metabolic challenges such as high-fat diet (HFD), which may contribute to various metabolic disorders.

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

Size and Sex Effects on Storm-Petrels’ Maximum Load-Lift at Takeoff
DiversityIn the Gulf of California, seabirds carry heavy loads to feed their chicks, making their takeoff capacity crucial for foraging. While some studies explore this, few consider the lift force, induced power, or aerobic vs. anaerobic performance.

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 ...

Oxygen minimum zone: An important oceanographic habitat for deep-diving northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris. [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the foraging behavior of top predators in the deep mesopelagic ocean. Elephant seals dive to the deep biota-poor oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) (>800 m depth) despite high diving costs in terms of energy and time, but how they ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents telomere‐to‐telomere genome assemblies for two populations of Larimichthys crocea. We identified centromere‐specific tandem repeats invaded by LTR/ERV1 retrotransposons, unique 5S rRNA enrichment patterns, and population‐specific structural variants. Comparative genomic analyses further reveal distinct adaptive mechanisms in the MYD

Frontiers in Marine ScienceHolling’s classical functional response model describes the mechanistic foundations of the relationships between predation rate and prey density. As such, the model is pertinent to predators that actively search for prey, but not to stationary predators ...

Neural Mechanisms of Foraging [PDF]
Science, 2012 Looking for Greener Pastures Humans, like other animals, have evolved to forage. Brain-imaging studies by Kolling et al. (p. 95 ) suggest that activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex supplies a continuous signal of environmental ...
