Can Wolf Predation Immediately Alter the Foraging Behavior of Beavers?: Video of a Wolf Killing a Foraging Beaver
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71357
Abstract: ABSTRACT Knowledge of wolf ( Canis lupus )‐beaver ( Castor canadensis ) interactions has largely been derived from indirect observations due to the cryptic nature of wolves and the densely forested areas where they usually… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9540
Abstract: Abstract Coyotes (Canis latrans) colonized the southeastern United States over the last century as large predators, including the red wolf (Canis rufus) and eastern cougar (Puma concolor), were extirpated from the region. As a generalist… read more here.

Lower nutritional state and foraging success in an Arctic seabird despite behaviorally flexible responses to environmental change
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9923
Abstract: Abstract The degree to which individuals adjust foraging behavior in response to environmental variability can impact foraging success, leading to downstream impacts on fitness and population dynamics. We examined the foraging flexibility, average daily energy… read more here.

Behavioral niche partitioning reexamined: Do behavioral differences predict dietary differences in warblers?

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3077
Abstract: Behavioral niche partitioning is an important and widely assumed mechanism for the coexistence of ecologically similar species. Here we assessed this mechanism by testing its core assumption, that evolved differences in foraging behavior correspond with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5545
Abstract: The interactions between habitat fragmentation and other stressors are considered a key knowledge gap. This work tested the hypotheses that mercury enhances the effects of fragmentation by (i) reducing the cumulative daily movement of organisms,… read more here.

Sociodemographic variation in foraging behavior and the adaptive significance of worker production in the facultatively social small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarata

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2365-6
Abstract: Provisioning for young offspring is an archetypical form of parental investment. Ceratina calcarata bees provide extended maternal care to their young and demonstrate an unusual strategy of dual-phase pollen provisioning. Most bees first gather provisions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-03014-3
Abstract: Abstract Orangutans show a pronounced sexual dimorphism, with flanged males (i.e., males with fully grown secondary sexual characteristics) reaching twice the size of adult females. Furthermore, adult orangutans show sex-specific dispersal and activity patterns. This… read more here.

Sphaerophoria rueppelli adults change their foraging behavior after mating but maintain the same preferences to flower traits

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-019-09928-2
Abstract: Hoverflies can play an important role in aphid biological control. Adult hoverflies depend on pollen and nectar to survive. Therefore the placement of flower resources in agroecosystems is a common method to enhance the populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.07.045
Abstract: Foraging strategies should be tuned to the expected distribution of resources in the environment. Tuning can occur over generations and lead to genetic differences in innate foraging behavior or over shorter timescales within an individual's… read more here.
