Linking millipede trophic niche to litter–millipede elemental composition across an altitudinal gradient

open access: yesGeoderma
Knowledge on a species trophic niche is critically important for understanding species diversity and ecosystem functions. Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) stable isotopes are effective tools for characterizing trophic niches, but may be complemented by ...

The time budget and feeding ecology of the pukeko (Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus, Temminck 1820) a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
The annual and seasonal time budget and feeding ecology of pukeko Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus are described both as a composite day and diurnally. The study shows pukeko do not spend equal time in all activities in all habitats over the day, for each ...
