Size-Related Differences in the Thermoregulatory Habits of Free-Ranging Komodo Dragons
Published 2010-01-01“…A potential ecological consequence of size-specific thermoregulatory habits for dragons is separation of foraging areas. In part, differences in thermoregulation could contribute to inducing shifts in predatory strategies from active foraging in small dragons to more sedentary sit-and-wait ambush predators in adults.…”

Strong benefits of hedgerows to bats in three European winegrowing regions
Published 2025-01-01“…Bat species adapted to foraging in the open space decreased their activity by half at a distance of 120 m from the hedgerow into the center of the vineyard, while bats adapted to foraging along vegetation (edge‐space bats) and those adapted to feeding within and close to vegetation (narrow‐space bats) decreased their mean flight activity by more than 80% at the same distance. …”

How do animals weigh conflicting information about reward sources over time? Comparing dynamic averaging models
Published 2024-03-01“…Abstract Optimal foraging theory suggests that animals make decisions which maximize their food intake per unit time when foraging, but the mechanisms animals use to track the value of behavioral alternatives and choose between them remain unclear. …”

Herbivore functions in the hot-seat: Resilience of Acanthurus triostegus to marine heatwaves.
Published 2025-01-01“…Rising temperatures caused significant increases in standard metabolic rate (from ~135 O2 kg-1 h-1 in winter to 224 O2 kg-1 h-1 at the peak of a marine heatwave), but not in the proportion of time spent active (~83-96%) or foraging (~2.4 bites min-1). Consequently, A. triostegus gained body mass during summer and winter, but lost ~0.8% body mass per day during the marine heatwave. …”

Life-history adaptation under climate warming magnifies the agricultural footprint of a cosmopolitan insect pest
Published 2025-01-01“…Here, we predict how climate change adaptation in life-history traits of insect pests affects their growth rates and impact on agricultural yields by unifying thermodynamics with classic theory on resource acquisition and allocation trade-offs between foraging, reproduction, and maintenance. Our model predicts that warming temperatures will favour resource allocation towards maintenance coupled with increased resource acquisition through larval foraging, and the evolution of this life-history strategy results in both increased population growth rates and per capita host consumption, causing a double-blow on agricultural yields. …”
