Sentence examples for higher intake rate from inspiring English sources

Larger patches resulted in greater residence time and higher intake rate.

Children are more vulnerable because of their greater contact with their environment (hand-mouth behavior), their higher intake rate and the development of their neural system.

In addition, we hypothesized that the dominant bird would take control over the best quality patches (Bautista et al. 1995; Monaghan and Metcalfe 1985) and consequently reach a higher intake rate than the subordinate (Dolman 1995).

Thus, although UV reflectance could be beneficial in terms of hunting success when prey are scarce or when crab spiders prey on pollinators other than honeybees, our study provides little evidence that UV reflectance has evolved because UV reflecting spiders have higher intake rates.

The post hoc test revealed that this was primarily because birds in single-trials feeding in the highly clumped distribution reached higher intake rates than in any other trial types (all p = 0.001; Fig.  2).
