Pollen reinforces learning in honey bee pollen foragers but not in nectar foragers
(Company of Biologists, 2020-11-16)
Searching for reward motivates and drives behaviour. In honey bees Apis mellifera, specialized pollen foragers are attracted to and learn odours with pollen. However, the role of pollen as a reward remains poorly understood. ...
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 ...

Multiple forging strategies in a marine apex predator, the Galapagos sea lion Zalophus wollebaeki
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008)
Three fundamental foraging patterns in air-breathing marine vertebrates have been described: epipelagic, mesopelagic and benthic. Many sea lion species with access to extensive continental shelves have been described as ...
Foraging strategies of female elephant seals from Península Valdés, Patagonia, Inferred from whisker stable isotope signatures of their pups
(European Association for Aquatic Mammals, 2019-06)
The foraging strategies of gestating female elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Península Valdés, Patagonia, were assessed by analyzing the values of stable isotopes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from whiskers of 60 ...
Plankton-picking by the goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus (Mullidae), a specialized bottom forager

Sensory allometry, foraging task specialization and resource exploitation in honeybees
Insect societies are important models for evolutionary biology and sociobiology. The complexity of some eusocial insect societies appears to arise from self-organized task allocation and group cohesion. One of the ...
Utilization of epiphytes by birds in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(Neotropical Ornithological Soc, Usgs Patuxent Wildlife Research Ctr, 2008-01-01)
Epiphytes constitute a great part of the vegetation biomass in Neotropical forests, offering a large variety of resources to birds. Despite their structural and ecological importance, few studies investigated the use of ...
