Influence of Forage Diversity and Condensed Tannins on Livestock Foraging Behavior, Production and Environmental Impact
(Utah State University, 2020-08)
Eating a combination of forages with different chemistries (i.e., nutrients, beneficial compounds such as tannins) may enhance ruminant nutrition and reduce environmental impacts relative to eating single forages. I explored ...
PASTURE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES BASED ON FORAGE OFFER ALTER THE STRUCTURE OF XARAES PALISADEGRASS
(Inst Zootecnia, 2017-01-01)
Forage offers can be used as a pasture management strategy that considers both the plant and the animal. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the pre- and post-grazing structure of Brachiaria brizantha ...
A breath of fresh air in foraging theory: The importance of wind for food size selection in a central-place forager
(University of Chicago Press, 2017-09)
Empirical data about food size carried by central-place foragers do not often fit with the optimum predicted by classical foraging theory. Traditionally, biotic constraints such as predation risk and competition have been ...
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 ...
Physical resistance as a criterion in the selection of foraging material by Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus Forel, 1911 (Hym., Formicidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-06-01)
Leaf-cutting ants forage on a wide variety of plant species using the physical and chemical characteristics of the plants as a selection criterion. In order to determine the influence of the physical factor on the selection ...

Nectar source profitability influences individual foraging preferences for pollen and pollen-foraging activity of honeybee colonies
(Springer, 2019-03)
Abstract: Most foraging honeybees specialize in either pollen or nectar collection, although some do alternate between both resources. Little is known about this behavioral plasticity and the factors that control it. We ...
Foraging Activity and Seasonal Food Preference of Linepithema micans (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), a Species Associated With the Spread of Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Hemiptera: Margarodidae)
(Entomological Soc Amer, 2014-08-01)
Linepithema micans (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is the main ant species responsible for the spread of Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Wille) (Hemiptera: Margarodidae), a soil scale that damages vine plants in southern ...
