Despite living apart, adult male and female elephants form short-lived mating or feeding associations with one another.
Hence, the study provides key information on the ecology of feeding associations and the linkage between plants and their insect herbivores for a lowland riparian forest ecosystem.
Although there was evidence of a similar order of entry into the milking parlor between days, the number of feeding associations was similar to that predicted by a model of random behavior, and the pattern of lying associations also suggested a random pattern of associations.
The only information collected to date on diet for CBD and SABD in south eastern Australia has been through direct observations of feeding, the association of dolphin distribution patterns with known fisheries areas, and gut contents of a few stranded dolphins, all of which have limitations when assessing diet.
As with other Sulids (gannets and boobies), the species forages mainly on pelagic schooling fish, primarily by plunge diving, often feeding in association with conspecifics and heterospecific competitors (Bunce and Norman, 2000).

Were people really upset and outraged by this 1971 Ken Russell classic or was it more to do with organised, semi-professional complainers such as church groups and viewers' associations feeding a press frenzy?
If daily rumination time is controlled by feeding management, these associations possibly highlight underlying compensatory mechanisms, for example to reductions of chewing efficiency as cows age.
