DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9272
Abstract: Abstract Behavioral innovations are rare and infrequent in the natural world, but they are pivotal for animals to respond to environmental changes. The ecological benefits of these innovations remain unknown, especially in wild populations. Here,… read more here.

Can intrinsic foraging efficiency explain dominance status? A test with functional response experiments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4302-4
Abstract: The functional response describes how food abundance affects the intake rate of foraging individuals, and as such, it can influence a wide range of ecological processes. In social species, dominance status can affect the functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04212-2
Abstract: Owning to dissimilarity with native macrophytes, invasive macrophytes may negatively affect the diet and foraging efficiency of fishes. We evaluated the invertebrate availability, diet composition, and foraging efficiency of four fish species that use macrophytes… read more here.

Gone with the wind: low availability of volatile information limits foraging efficiency in downwind-flying parasitoids
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Animal Behaviour"
DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.04.025
Abstract: Parasitoids need to find their plant-feeding hosts in complex environments that contain multiple other plant and insect species. They usually rely on herbivore-induced plant volatiles to locate herbivore-infested plants from a distance and their foraging… read more here.

How to improve foraging efficiency for restocking measures of juvenile Baltic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquaculture"
DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2018.12.021
Abstract: Abstract Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), also known as Baltic sturgeon, is considered missing or extinct in German waters. Current conservation efforts focus on re-stocking activities, but classical hatchery rearing may reduce the fitness of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/aaq.2018.86
Abstract: Recently, researchers investigating the origins of domestication have debated the significance of resource intensification in the shift from foraging to food production. In eastern North America, one of several independent centers of domestication, this question… read more here.

Developmental Methylmercury Exposure Affects Swimming Behavior and Foraging Efficiency of Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) Larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "ACS Omega"
DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.7b00227
Abstract: Methylmercury (MeHg) is a pervasive and ubiquitous environmental neurotoxicant within aquatic ecosystems, known to alter behavior in fish and other vertebrates. This study sought to assess the behavioral effects of developmental MeHg exposure on larval… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eea.12713
Abstract: Understanding the factors that influence the ability of predators to find and kill herbivores is central to enhancing their impact on prey populations, but few studies have tested the impact of these factors on predation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.14277
Abstract: The formation of mixed-species social groups, whereby heterospecifics form and maintain either transient or stable groups with each other, can confer substantial fitness benefits to individuals. Such benefits may arise via multiple mechanisms associated with… read more here.
