Flies and Flowers III: Ecology of foraging and pollination

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2015
Diptera are important flower visitors and pollinators for many plant species and in a variety of habitats. Although Diptera are not as well studied as other groups of pollinators, there is a growing literature that we review here about the ecology of ...

Ecology dictates the value of memory for foraging bees [PDF]

Current Biology, 2021
Abstract “Ecological intelligence” hypotheses posit that animal learning and memory evolves to meet the demands posed by foraging, and together with social intelligence and cognitive buffer hypotheses, provide a key framework for understanding cognitive evolution.

Commuting in crosswinds and foraging in fast winds: the foraging ecology of a flying fish specialist. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci
Understanding how the behaviour of volant species is influenced by winds is important at a time when global airflow patterns and intensities are shifting. We investigated how wind speeds and directions influenced the flight and feeding events of a flap-gliding seabird during central place trips searching for aerial prey like ...

Intraspecific differences in short- and long-term foraging strategies of reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) in the Chagos Archipelago

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Assessing the foraging ecology of a threatened species is necessary to understand their movement behaviour and habitat use patterns, which are essential for developing effective protection strategies. Here, the foraging ecology of reef manta rays (Mobula

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 ...

The role of disease in bee foraging ecology [PDF]

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2017
Diseases have important but understudied effects on bee foraging ecology. Bees transmit and contract diseases on flowers, but floral traits including plant volatiles and inflorescence architecture may affect transmission. Diseases spill over from managed or invasive pollinators to native wild bee species, and impacts of emerging diseases are of ...

A glimpse into the foraging and movement behaviour of Nyctalus aviator; a complementary study by acoustic recording and GPS tracking

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Species of open-space bats that are relatively large, such as bats from the genus Nyctalus, are considered as high-risk species for collisions with wind turbines (WTs).
