Using the Diet Composition of Adult Chinook Salmon to Understand the Regional Structure of Salish Sea Forage Communities

Fisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 565-579, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish and other forage species are patchily distributed over space and time, resulting in variable foraging conditions experienced by their predators. The high‐resolution data necessary to understand the spatiotemporal structure of forage communities are challenging to collect with expensive fishery‐independent surveys, meaning ...

Free‐living Black‐tailed Godwits maintain constant intake rates across varying grassland habitat conditions by adjusting their foraging behaviour

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 876-889, July 2026.
Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.
