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.

Aeroscapes and the Sensory Ecology of Olfaction in a Tropical Dry Forest
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Aeroscapes—dynamic patterns of air speed and direction—form a critical component of landscape ecology by shaping numerous animal behaviors, including movement, foraging, and social and/or reproductive interactions.

Of hummingbirds and helicopters: Hovering costs, competitive ability, and foraging strategies [PDF]
, 2004 Wing morphology and flight kinematics profoundly influence foraging costs and the overall behavioral ecology of hummingbirds. By analogy with helicopters, previous energetic studies have applied the momentum theory of aircraft propellers to estimate ...

Ecological Consequences of Foraging Mode [PDF]
Ecology, 1981 Desert lizards are typically either widely foraging or sit—and—wait predators, and these foraging modes are correlated with major differences in ecology. Foraging mode is related to the type of prey eaten by lizards. Widely foraging lizards in the Kalahari desert, the Western Australian desert, and the North American desert generally eat more prey that

Olfactory cue use by three-spined sticklebacks foraging in turbid water: prey detection or prey location? [PDF]
, 2012 Foraging, when senses are limited to olfaction, is composed of two distinct stages: the detection of prey and the location of prey. While specialist olfactory foragers are able to locate prey using olfactory cues alone, this may not be the case for ...

DNA barcoding reveals seasonal shifts in diet and consumption of deep-sea fishes in wedge-tailed shearwaters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The foraging ecology of pelagic seabirds is difficult to characterize because of their large foraging areas. In the face of this difficulty, DNA metabarcoding may be a useful approach to analyze diet compositions and foraging behaviors.
