The structure of feeding behavior in a phytophagous insect (Hylobius abietis) [PDF]
, 2015 Analysis of the feeding behavior of animals using such a high temporal resolution that meals can be defined may improve our understanding of the mechanisms regulating feeding. Meals can be distinguished in an ethologically meaningful manner by using the ‘
