The goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus and its follower fishes at an oceanic island in the tropical west Atlantic
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-09-01)
The influence of a substratum-disturbing forager, the spotted goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus on the assemblage of its escorting, opportunistic-feeding fishes was examined at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (tropical west ...
Fat body morphology, but not body size, changes in forager bees of Scaptotrigona jujuyensis (Apidae: Meliponini) during foraging season
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019-11)
The morphological variation of workers is a phenomenon related to a colony context. We have studied body size and fat body morphology in foragers of Scaptotrigona jujuyensis during different periods of the foraging season. ...
Interindividual spacing affects the finder’s share in ring-tailed coatis (Nasua nasua)
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2020-01)
Social foraging models are often used to explain how group size can affect an individual's food intake rate and foraging strategies. The proportion of food eaten before the arrival of conspecifics, the finder's share, is ...
How wave exposure, group size and habitat complexity influence foraging and population densities in fishes of the genus Halichoeres (Perciformes: Labridae) on tropical rocky shores
(Marine Biology, 2013)
Wave exposure and habitat complexity have
been used to explain variations in the distribution patterns
and behavior of many reef fishes. This study analyzed the
influence of both factors on density and foraging ...
When and how obstacle size and the number of foragers affect clearing a foraging trail in leaf-cutting ants
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2019-02-20)
Taking bad decisions to solve problems can negatively affect organism fitness, hence, the costs accrued by them should modulate decisions about when and how problems should be solved. We studied the problem of trail ...
Diet mixing and condensed tannins help explain foraging preferences by Creole goats facing the physical and chemical diversity of native woody plants in the central Monte desert (Argentina).
(Comité editorial Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2016-02-26)
ARTICULO PUBLICADO EN REVISTA EXTERNA. The aim of this study was to understand the benefit of diet mixing for Creole goats grazingnative forage species in the central Monte desert of Argentina and the drivers of preferencein ...
Evidence of associative blocking during foraging in the social wasp Vespula germanica
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
While foraging, Vespula germanica usually return to abundant food sites. During this relocation behavior, these wasps learn to identify contextual cues associated with food position. We analyzed associative blocking in ...
Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World's Major Fisherie
(Oceanography Society, 2014-12)
A majority of the world’s largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers such as large predatory fishes, seabirds, and ...
