Inter- and intra-annual differences in foraging ecology of the chick-rearing Brünnich’s guillemots (Uria lomvia) breeding in the High Arctic [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe foraging ecology of seabirds depends on both external and internal factors. Seabirds can modify their feeding strategy depending on current food availability to maintain optimal energy levels provisioned to the offspring. Here, we investigated inter-

Foraging ecology drives social information reliance in an avian eavesdropping community [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Vertebrates obtain social information about predation risk by eavesdropping on the alarm calls of sympatric species. In the Holarctic, birds in the family Paridae function as sentinel species; however, factors shaping eavesdroppers' reliance on their ...

Sex differences in foraging ecology of the chick rearing Brünnich’s Guillemots (Uria lomvia) breeding in a High Arctic colony [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSome seabirds, such as alcids exhibit sexual monomorphism, often displaying intersexual variation in parental investment and breeding ecology. In the Brünnich’s Guillemot (Uria lomvia), both sexes contribute to incubation and chick rearing.

Foraging ecology predicts learning performance in insectivorous bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Bats are unusual among mammals in showing great ecological diversity even among closely related species and are thus well suited for studies of adaptation to the ecological background.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sea turtles are exposed to numerous threats during migrations to their foraging grounds and at those locations. Therefore, information on sea turtle foraging and spatial ecology can guide conservation initiatives, yet it is difficult to directly observe ...

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

The Sensory and Cognitive Ecology of Nectar Robbing
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Animals foraging from flowers must assess their environment and make critical decisions about which patches, plants, and flowers to exploit to obtain limiting resources. The cognitive ecology of plant-pollinator interactions explores not only the complex

Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) use vision to forage on gelatinous prey in mid-water. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Identifying characteristics of foraging activity is fundamental to understanding an animals' lifestyle and foraging ecology. Despite its importance, monitoring the foraging activities of marine animals is difficult because direct observation is rarely ...
