Root Foraging Influences Plant Growth Responses to Earthworm Foraging [PDF]

, 2014
Interactions among the foraging behaviours of co-occurring animal species can impact population and community dynamics; the consequences of interactions between plant and animal foraging behaviours have received less attention. In North American forests,

What is really social about social insect cognition?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
It is often assumed that social life imposes specific cognitive demands for animals to communicate, cooperate and compete, ultimately requiring larger brains.

Foraging strategies in grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) : foraging effort and prey selection [PDF]

, 2009
Swimming speeds and prey selection of temporally captive, wild grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) were investigated in relation to prey characteristics in an experimental set-up at the Sea Mammal Research Unit (St Andrews, UK).

The foraging behaviour and population dynamics of the northern gannet [PDF]

, 2002
The northern gannet Morus bassanus population has been increasing in size over the last century. Larger gannet colonies in the British Isles are growing more slowly per capita than the smaller ones.

Favorable spring conditions can buffer the impact of winter carryover effects on a key breeding decision in an Arctic‐breeding seabird

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The availability and investment of energy among successive life‐history stages is a key feature of carryover effects. In migratory organisms, examining how both winter and spring experiences carryover to affect breeding activity is difficult due to the ...

Exogenous Application of Methyl Jasmonate Increases Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds in Pyrenean Oak Trees, Quercus pyrenaica

Biology, 2022
The tri-trophic interactions between plants, insects, and insect predators and parasitoids are often mediated by chemical cues. The attraction to herbivore-induced Plant Volatiles (HIPVs) has been well documented for arthropod predators and parasitoids ...

Diet and foraging behavior of a female Baird’s tapir (Tapirus bairdi) in a Costa Rican lowland rainforest

Cuadernos de investigación UNED, 2015
The Baird’s tapir (Tapirus bairdii) is an endangered neotropical species which has little field research to guide its conservation efforts. For this reason, the diet and foraging activity of a free ranging female was observed for 286 hrs.

Laboratory studies examining aspects of scent marking, traplining and remote detection of reward in the foraging bumblebee. [PDF]

, 2007
PhDEnergy from food is essential for the survival of all animals. For decades, bumblebees have been used as model organisms for studying animal foraging strategies.

RFID tracking of sublethal effects of two neonicotinoid insecticides on the foraging behavior of Apis mellifera [PDF]

, 2012
The development of insecticides requires valid risk assessment procedures to avoid causing harm to beneficial insects and especially to pollinators such as the honeybee Apis mellifera.
