Foraging Behavior of the Swarm-Founding Wasp, Polybia (Trichothorax) sericea (Hymenoptera, Vespidae): Prey Capture and Load Capacity
(California State University, 2013)
Flash and grab: Deep-diving southern elephant seals trigger anti-predator flashes in bioluminescent prey
(Company of Biologists, 2020-05)
Bioluminescence, which occurs in approximately 80% of the world's mesopelagic fauna, can take the form of a low-intensity continuous glow (e.g. for counter-illumination or signalling) or fast repetitions of brighter ...
Age-related prey selectivity and foraging efficiency in Olrog's Gulls Larus atlanticus feeding on crabs in their non-breeding grounds.
(Csiro Publishing, 2011-05)
Foraging ecology is an essential component of the life history of a species and a good understanding of foraging ecology is especially important for threatened species where prey populations may be adversely affected by ...
Foraging behavior of tyrant flycatchers (Aves, Tyrannidae) in Brazil
(Soc Brasileira Zoologia, Univ Federal Parana, 2005-12-01)
In this paper we present data on the foraging maneuvers and substrates used to capture preys by 28 species of tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) in Brazil. For six species: Arundinicola leucocephala Linnaeus, 1764, Fluvicola ...
Natural Prey and Digestion Times of Toxorhynchites rutilus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Southern Florida
(Oxford University Press, 2000-11)
Natural prey of Toxorhynchites rutilus (Coquillett) were identified from gut contents of 941 larvae collected from treeholes and tires located in an oak-palm woodland in south Florida. Twenty taxa of aquatic prey were ...
Where and when to hunt? Decomposing predation success of an ambush carnivore
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-12)
Predator–prey games emerge when predators and prey dynamically respond to the behavior of one another, driving the outcomes of predator–prey interactions. Predation success is a function of the combined probabilities of ...
The Predation of Artemia Nauplii by the Larvae of the Amazon River Prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862), is Affected by Prey Density, Time of Day, and Ontogenetic Development
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-10-01)
The present study analyzed the effects of prey density, the time of day, and ontogenetic development on the predation of Artemia nauplii by the larvae of the Amazon river prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, as well as possible ...

Gut evacuation time of macrobrachium borellii (Caridea: Palaemonidae) feeding on three types of prey from the littoral-benthic community
(Crustacean Society, 2011-10)
Gut evacuation time is a very useful parameter that allows us to understand the daily trophic cycle of a predator. Macrobrachium borellii is an inhabitant of the littoral-benthic community of the Paran River system that ...
