Sentence examples for foraging environment from inspiring English sources

Environmental changes that are currently underway in the Southern Ocean, including changes in the timing of sea ice advance and retreat, receding glaciers, and shifting oceanographic fronts, could lead to major changes in the terrestrial breeding habitats, marine foraging environment and prey availability for higher order predators [ 7, 8].

Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, we varied the maternal foraging environment (FC) by the presence or absence of rat odour (feces) and shelters (MouseHouse and tube) from postnatal days 1 14 and assessed the adult offspring's corticosterone response to isolation/novelty stress and their behaviour in three tests of fearfulness (elevated-O-maze, open-field, free exploration).
