Chemical prey discrimination of termites in Amphisbaena heterozonata (Reptilia: Squamata): A learned trait?
(Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, 2010-09)
Little is known about the diet of many amphisbaenians and even less about their prey preferences in part because of their fossorial habits. We used the tongue-flicking behavior of an amphisbaenian, Amphisbaena heterozonata, ...
Predator–prey interactions in anurans of the tropical dry forests of the Colombian Caribbean: A functional approach
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
Anuran–prey selection might be mediated by traits, either by mismatches in predator and prey traits (preventing interactions) or by predator selection of prey traits (encouraging interactions). These effect traits could ...
Diet, prey narcotization and biochemical composition of salivary glands secretions of the volutid snail Odontocymbiola magellanica
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-08)
Odontocymbiola magellanica is a neogastropod very common in Patagonian shallow waters. It feeds exclusively on molluscs inhabiting the same benthic community. Field studies showed that prey preferences are live gastropods ...
Cannibalistic behavior and functional response in Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera : Calliphoridae)
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2004-03-01)
Chrysomya albiceps is a facultative predator and cannibal species during the larval stage. Very little is known about cannibalism and prey size preference, especially in blowflies. The purpose of this investigation was to ...

Males choose to keep their heads: preference for lower risk females in a praying mantid
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06)
Male reproductive success is obviously mate limited, which implies that males should rarely be choosy. One extreme case of a reproductive (or mating) cost is sexual cannibalism. Recent research has proposed that male mantids ...
Combining a geographic information system, known dietary, foraging and habitat preferences, and stable isotope analysis to infer the diet of Magellanic Penguins in their austral distribution
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-12-22)
The Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) is the most abundant and widely distributed top marine predator of Atlantic Ocean waters off the Patagonian coast. During the breeding season, this species consumes thousands ...
Native forest replacement by exotic plantations triggers changes in prey selection of mesocarnivores
(Elsevier, 2015)
Replacement of native forests by forest plantations may change the composition and abundance of small
mammals, thus influencing the foraging behavior of mesocarnivores in these human-created habitats. We
assessed how ...
