Energy deficiency promotes rhythmic foraging behavior by activating neurons in paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
BackgroundDysregulation of feeding behavior leads to a variety of pathological manifestations ranging from obesity to anorexia. The foraging behavior of animals affected by food deficiency is not fully understood.MethodsHome-Cage system was used to ...

Kinematics and energetics of foraging behavior in Rice’s whales of the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Rorqual foraging behavior varies with species, prey type and foraging conditions, and can be a determining factor for their fitness. Little is known about the foraging ecology of Rice’s whales (Balaenoptera ricei), an endangered species with a population

Sex‐Specific Variation in Foraging Behavior is Related to Telomere Length in a Long‐Lived Seabird [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Foraging during breeding is a demanding activity linked to breeding investment and possibly constrained by individual quality. Telomere length, the protective nucleoproteins located at the ends of the chromosomes, is considered a trait reflecting somatic

Description of a Unique Solitary Feeding Strategy Observed in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Biloxi Marsh, Louisiana [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020
Bottlenose dolphins’ (Tursiops truncatus) foraging strategies in the Biloxi Marsh have received little attention when compared with other comparable habitats in the southeastern United States.

Effect of soil spatial configuration on Trifolium repens varies with resource amount.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Soil spatial heterogeneity involves nutrients being patchily distributed at a range of scales and is prevalent in natural habitats. However, little is known about the effect of soil spatial configurations at the small scale on plant foraging behavior and

Latitudinal range influences the seasonal variation in the foraging behavior of marine top predators. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Non-migratory resident species should be capable of modifying their foraging behavior to accommodate changes in prey abundance and availability associated with a changing environment.

Pollinator‐mediated plant coexistence requires high levels of pollinator specialization

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
In pollen‐limited plant communities, the foraging behavior of pollinators might mediate coexistence and competitive exclusion of plant species by determining which plants receive conspecific pollen. A key question is whether realistic pollinator foraging

A hard day’s night: Patterns in the diurnal and nocturnal foraging behavior of Apis dorsata across lunar cycles and seasons

PLoS ONE, 2021
The giant honey bee Apis dorsata is unusual in being able to forage during both the day and the night. To date, the extent of this unique nocturnal foraging behavior and the environmental factors correlating with it have not been deeply investigated.

Long-term memory of experienced jays facilitates problem-solving by naïve group members in the wild

Scientific Reports, 2023
Long-term memory affects animal fitness, especially in social species. In these species, the memory of group members facilitates the acquisition of novel foraging skills through social learning when naïve individuals observe and imitate the successful ...

PDK1 and HR46 gene homologs tie social behavior to ovary signals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The genetic basis of division of labor in social insects is a central question in evolutionary and behavioral biology. The honey bee is a model for studying evolutionary behavioral genetics because of its well characterized age-correlated division of ...
