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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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,

Multidimensional nutritional ecology and urban birds

Ecosphere, 2018
There is growing interest in the question of how urbanization affects the ecology of birds, across timescales from relatively short‐term physiological responses to long‐term evolutionary adaptation.
