At-sea distribution, movements and diving behavior of Magellanic penguins reflect small-scale changes in oceanographic conditions around the colony
(Springer, 2022-01)
Penguins are highly specialized divers that are expected to reflect environmental variation by adjusting their foraging behavior. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the at-sea distribution, diving, and foraging ...
Extended phenotypes and foraging restrictions: ant nest entrances and resource ingress in leaf-cutting ants
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-03)
Several factors may restrict the acquisition of food to below the levels predicted by the optimization theory. However, how the design of structures that animals build for foraging restricts the entry of food is less known. ...
Avian ecosystem functions are influenced by small mammal ecosystem engineering
(2013)
Background: Birds are important mobile link species that contribute to landscape-scale patterns by means of pollination, seed dispersal, and predation. Birds are often associated with habitats modified by small mammal ...
Foraging strategies of Southern sea lion females in the La Plata River Estuary (Argentina-Uruguay)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013-04)
The stocks of Southern sea lions (Otaria flavescens, SSL) and South American fur seals (SAFS) that breed on coastal islands of Uruguay constitute the most important focal concentration of pinnipeds in South America, with ...
Diet and foraging behavior of a female Baird's tapir ( Tapirus bairdi ) in a Costa Rican lowland rainforest
(Universidad Estatal a Distancia de Costa Rica, 2015)
Comparative foraging behaviour of sympatric Humboldt and Magellanic Penguins reveals species-specific and sex-specific strategies
(Csiro Publishing, 2013-05)
How closely related marine organisms mitigate competition for resources while foraging at sea is not well understood, particularly the relative importance of interspecific and intraspecific mitigation strategies. Using ...
Seasonality of vespid species (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in a central Brazilian cerrado
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1998)
Foraging effort in Magellanic penguins: balancing the energy books for survival?
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2014-11-27)
The determination of activity-specific energy expenditure of wild animals is key in ecology and conservation sciences. Energy management is crucial for seabirds during the breeding season when they need to maintain a ...
