Traces of a Neonicotinoid Induce Precocious Foraging and Reduce Foraging Performance in Honey Bees.
Environmental Science and Technology, 2019 There is increasing worldwide concern about the impacts of pesticide residues on honey bees and bee colony survival, but how sublethal effects of pesticides on bees might cause colony failure remains highly controversial, with field data giving very ...

Starvation Dynamics of a Greedy Forager [PDF]
J. Stat. Mech. 073213 (2017), 2017 We investigate the dynamics of a greedy forager that moves by random walking in an environment where each site initially contains one unit of food. Upon encountering a food-containing site, the forager eats all the food there and can subsequently hop an additional $\mathcal{S}$ steps without food before starving to death.

Feeding and foraging ecology of Trindade petrels Pterodroma arminjoniana during the breeding period in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
, 2017 Seabirds breeding in tropical environments experience high energetic demands, when foraging in an oligotrophic environment. The globally threatened Trindade petrel Pterodroma arminjoniana has its largest colony in Trindade Island (20°30′S–29°19′W) inside

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.

Association patterns and foraging behaviour in natural and artificial guppy shoals [PDF]
, 2008 Animal groups are often nonrandom assemblages of individuals that tend to be assorted by factors such as sex, body size, relatedness and familiarity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Significance Plant growth requires acquisition of soil nutrients in a patchy environment. Nutrient patches may be actively foraged by symbioses comprising roots and mycorrhizal fungi. Here, we show that thicker root tree species (e.g., tulip poplar, pine)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView., 2023 In our study, we conducted circRNA expression profiling of Zhongwei goat skin exhibiting divergent curvature wool phenotypes at two developmental stages using the RNA‐seq. Functional verification assay demonstrated that circRNA8782 regulated fibroblast proliferation.

Foraging of pigs in outdoor areas (OK-Net Ecofeed Practice Abstract) [PDF]
, 2020 • Root foraging crops, like Jerusalem artichokes or sugar beet (photo 1), can cover more than 80 % and 50 % of the energy requirements of pregnant sows and growing/finishing pigs, respectively.
