Perceiving the algae: How feeding-current feeding copepods detect their nonmotile prey
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2015-03)
Feeding-current feeding copepods detect and capture prey individually, but the mechanism by which nonmotile prey is detected has been unclear. Early reports that copepods detect phytoplankton prey at distances of one body ...
Reply to comment: Prey perception in feeding-current feeding copepods
(Amer Soc Limnology Oceanography, 2016-07)
We reply to the comments of Paffenhöfer and Jiang (2016) who argues that remote chemical prey perception is necessary for feeding‐current feeding copepods to fulfill their nutritional requirements in a dilute ocean, that ...
Fine-scale body and head movements allow to determine prey capture events in the Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus)
(Springer, 2021-06)
The identification of when, how and where animals feed is essential to estimate the amount of energy they obtain and to study the processes associated with prey search and consumption. We combined the use of animal-borne ...
Collective prey capture and feeding behaviours of Anelosimus jabaquara Levi 1956 (Araneae : Theridiidae)
(Brill Academic PublishersLeidenHolanda, 2002)
Foraging behavior of the swarm-founding wasp, Polybia (Trichothorax) sericea (Hymenoptera, Vespidae): Prey capture and load capacity
(2009-02-16)
The main component of the protein diet of P. sericea was larvae of Lepidoptera (75.38%), with predominance of the following Families: Noctuidae (30.99 %), Hesperiidae (19.01 %); Pyralidae (19.01 %) and Nymphalidae (11.98%). ...
Initial feeding behaviour, eye structure and effect of colours on prey capture rates of Betta splendens larvae
(2015-01-01)
Basic studies on early morphology and behaviour are necessary to support applied research on larval rearing. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the initial feeding behaviour, eye structure and the influence of ...
Metabolic and behavioral responses of the reef fish Patagonotothen cornucola to ultraviolet radiation: Influence of the diet
(Elsevier Science, 2016-01)
Most of the studies devoted to assess the effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on fishes have been done with early life stages (i.e., eggs and larvae) as they are the most vulnerable to these wavelengths; however, the ...

How much is too much? Assessment of prey consumption by Magellanic penguins in Patagonian colonies
(Public Library of Science, 2012-12-12)
Penguins are major consumers in the southern oceans although quantification of this has been problematic. One suggestion proposes the use of points of inflection in diving profiles (´wiggles´) for this, a method that has ...
