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

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.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021 Harbour porpoises frequently alter their behaviour in response to underwater sound from shipping, seismic surveys, drilling and marine renewables. Less well understood is the response of porpoises to sounds emitted from oil and gas (O&G) platforms during

Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]
, 2017 Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

Optimal L\'{e}vy-flight foraging in a finite landscape
, 2014 We present a simple model to study L\'{e}vy-flight foraging in a finite landscape with countable targets. In our approach, foraging is a step-based exploratory random search process with a power-law step-size distribution $P(l) \propto l^{-\mu}$. We find

Tichodroma, 2022 The Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) is typical species of agricultural landscapes, where the food supply is significantly limited. The nestling diet composition and its foraging ecology are little known in the entire range. Therefore, we studied

Modality-specific attention in foraging bumblebees [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Attentional demands can prevent humans and other animals from performing multiple tasks simultaneously. Some studies, however, show that tasks presented in different sensory modalities (e.g. visual and auditory) can be processed simultaneously.

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.

Foraging activity by the southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus) as a mechanism for soil turnover [PDF]
, 2012 Mammals that forage for food by biopedturbation can alter the biotic and abiotic characteristics of their habitat, influencing ecosystem structure and function.
