Sentence examples for differences in the foraging from inspiring English sources

Using stable isotope analysis of dolphin teeth and prey items, clear differences in the foraging ecology of the SABD and CBD are apparent, as well as possible differences in trophic level of foraging between the two small populations of the SABD present in Victoria, Australia.

Finally, we observed a significant difference between the dispersal of the natural isolate used throughout this study and the widely-used laboratory strain, Canton-S, and show that the difference cannot be explained by allelic differences in the foraging gene.

Previous authors have speculated that the mechanisms behind observed differences in size in relation to dominance rank (where more dominant animals are larger) might be due to differences in the foraging behaviour of dominant versus more subordinate individuals (McGreevy and Burgess, 2005; Ingólfsdóttir and Sigurjónsdóttir, 2008).

Changes in histone acetylation explain differences in the foraging and scouting patterns of different castes of carpenter ants.

We observed differences in the foraging strategies used by females in different reproductive groups.

These findings indicate that a higher number of MB neurons are active in the round dancers than in the waggle dancers, strongly suggesting that differences in the foraging distance are reflected as differences in the number of active MB neurons in the forager brain.

This was surprising, as Kembel and Cahill (2005) found broad differences in the root foraging plasticity of monocot and eudicot species in response to nutrient heterogeneity.

We predict that we would be more likely to see leadership in non-identical players when there was a large difference in the foraging costs experienced by the two players.

Our study confirms the efficacy of δ13C as a proxy for human activity, and indicates that while demographic differences play a clear role in the foraging ecology of bears, availability of subsidies coincident with varying levels of human activity appears to be a major driver in predicting black bear diet throughout the western United States.

We conclude that brood stimuli alone, as opposed to the combined brood and pollen treatments of Pankiw and Page 2001a, affect the pollen foraging behavior of high and low pollen-hoarding strains; however, observed baseline differences in foraging onset and pollen foraging behavior may also be due to intrinsic foraging biases that are modulated by other, as yet undetermined, stimuli.

A number of factors may explain the noddies' limited ability to increase provisioning rates beyond normal background rates, including differences in foraging ecology between offshore foraging black noddies and these more pelagic species [49] or access to variety in prey types [50], [51].
