Foraging ecology of the African Penguin Spheniscus demersus in relation to ocean physical processes. [PDF]
, 2012 Includes abstract.This research demonstrated the dual utility of bio-loggers as a method for generating accurate, high-resolution oceanographic data. These data can be used in future studies, generating a cross disciplinary platform for research.

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 ...

Experimental studies of social foraging in budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus [PDF]
, 2015 Many animals are social foragers. Foraging with others may confer a number of advantages, but is also likely to present a number of challenges that are not encountered by solitary foragers.

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,

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 ...

Roosting and foraging social structure of the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Social dynamics are an important but poorly understood aspect of bat ecology. Herein we use a combination of graph theoretic and spatial approaches to describe the roost and social network characteristics and foraging associations of an Indiana bat ...
