Correlated evolution of wing morphology and echolocation calls in bats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 IntroductionFlight and echolocation are two crucial behaviors associated with niche expansion in bats. Previous researches have attempted to explain the interspecific divergence in flight morphology and echolocation vocalizations in some bat groups from ...

Oxygen minimum zone: An important oceanographic habitat for deep-diving northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris. [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the foraging behavior of top predators in the deep mesopelagic ocean. Elephant seals dive to the deep biota-poor oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) (>800 m depth) despite high diving costs in terms of energy and time, but how they ...

The Effect of nest Size and Species Identity on Plant Selection in Acromyrmex Leaf-Cutting Ants
Sociobiology, 2018 Leaf-cutting ants are key organisms because their role as primary consumers and potential agricultural pests. However, their foraging ecology was mostly studied as response of extrinsic factors such as climate and plant species traits.

Foraging mode affects extinction risk of snakes and lizards, but in different ways
Conservation Letters, 2023 What factors render a species more vulnerable to extinction? In reptiles, foraging mode is a fundamental ecological dimension: some species actively search for immobile prey, whereas others ambush mobile prey. Foraging mode is linked to diet, morphology,

Identifying Space Use at Foraging Arena Scale within the Home Ranges of Large Herbivores.
PLoS ONE, 2015 An intermediate spatiotemporal scale of food procurement by large herbivores is evident within annual or seasonal home ranges. It takes the form of settlement periods spanning several days or weeks during which foraging activity is confined to spatially ...
