Insects have evolved remarkably efficient strategies for navigation and foraging, employing a combination of innate behaviours and learned experiences to traverse complex environments. Their ...

Social wasps exhibit extraordinary foraging strategies that combine innate behavioural patterns with learned adaptations. Central to their success is the utilisation of olfactory cues, which not only ...

Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly ...

Models suggest that the Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) may have a higher risk of extinction as water temperatures increase. Credit: WT Fiege, Wikimedia Commons Fish are changing how they search for and ...

A new study used modern methods to reassess a foundational study in biology that explained how ecologically similar species of wood warblers coexist. The research team examined foraging behavior, ...

A spat between birds at a backyard birdfeeder highlights the sometimes fierce competition for resources that animals face in the natural world, but some ecologically similar species appear to coexist ...

Killer whales foraging in deep submarine canyons off the coast of California represent a distinct subpopulation that uses specialized hunting techniques to catch marine mammals, researchers report.
