The effects of increase the temperature on the foraging of Acromyrmex lobicormis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Academia Sinica, 2014-08)
The leaf-cutting ants appear to be a suitable group for studying the effect of global warming on ectothermic animals. These ants of the Atta and Acromyrmex genera are considered to be the main herbivores in the Neotropics. ...
Factors affecting individual foraging behavior in a threatened seabird: Olrog’s gull (larus atlanticus) as a case study
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2021-05-26)
The analysis of feeding strategies in animals is one of the most important topics in foraging ecology. The individual’s foraging behavior depends on both the individual’s own actions and the behavior of other foragers. ...
Expression of conditioned preference for low-quality food in sheep is modulated by foraging cost
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-06)
Past positive experiences can increase herbivores’ motivation to eat low-quality foods. However, this is not always translated into a higher preference for low-quality foods in choice tests among foods of higher nutritional ...

Panicum coloratum seed yield components in a farmer's field under diverse fertilization
(2019-05)
Kleingrass (Panicum coloratum var. coloratum) is widely adapted to Argentinian Central La Pampa region, with desirable traits including persistence and high nutrition value. Despite this, Kleingrass utilization by growers ...
Working in the rain? Why leaf-cutting ants stop foraging when it’s raining
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2018-05)
Understanding how environmental factors modulate foraging is key to recognizing the adaptive value of animal behavior, especially in ectothermic organisms such as ants. We experimentally analyzed the effect of rain on the ...
