Chimpanzee feeding ecology and fallback food use in the montane forest of Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22971
Abstract: Almost all primates experience seasonal fluctuations in the availability of key food sources. However, the degree to which this fluctuation impacts foraging behavior varies considerably. Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21408
Abstract: Cowbirds are a successful group of obligate brood parasites in the Neotropical passerine family Icteridae that offer an interesting model to explore the factors behind the evolution of the bird craniomandibular complex. The Giant Cowbird,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.03.010
Abstract: Atlantic Bigeye (Priacanthus arenatus) is a demersal species from the Priacanthidae family with little literature relating to its biology and catch aspects. Due to this lack of research, the focus of this effort was to… read more here.

Rensching cats and dogs: feeding ecology and fecundity trends explain variation in the allometry of sexual size dimorphism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Royal Society Open Science"
DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170453
Abstract: The tendency for sexual size dimorphism (SSD) to increase with body mass in taxa where males are larger, and to decrease when females are larger, is known as Rensch's rule. In mammals, where the trend… read more here.

Feeding ecology is the primary driver of beak shape diversification in waterfowl
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Functional Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12890
Abstract: Summary The diversity of beak shapes among birds is often assumed to be largely the result of adaptations to different feeding behaviors and diets. However, this assumption has only been tested for a small subset… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eff.12315
Abstract: Recovering populations of piscivores can challenge understanding of ecosystem function due to impacts on prey and to potentially altered food webs supporting their production. Stocks of walleye (Percidae, Sander vitreus), an apex predator in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/mammalia-2017-0068
Abstract: Abstract Knowledge about the feeding ecology of didelphid marsupials remains incipient, especially in environments with marked seasonality in resource supply, such as in the Cerrado. We analysed the diet composition of Thylamys macrurus in Cerrado… read more here.
