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

Stabilizing effects of group formation by Serengeti herbivores on predator-prey dynamics
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Predator-prey theory often assumes that potential prey individuals are solitary and evenly distributed in space. This assumption is violated in social, mobile prey, such as many ungulates.

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 ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Ecology and EvolutionFeeding ecology is an essential component of an organism's life, but foraging comes with risks and energetic costs. Species in which populations exhibit more than one feeding strategy, such as sea turtles, are good systems for investigating how feeding ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Connection of mobility and foraging - A cross-cultural analysis
Etnoantropološki Problemi, 2007 The goal of this inquiry is to explore the existence and severity of the liaison in-between mobility and cattle breeding. The author has decided to test the hypothesis of a relation between mobility and cattle breading through quantitative analysis of a
