.... Adaptive plasticity Compensatory feeding Ecoimmunology Host manipulation Host–parasite interactions Self-medication Parasites live at the expense of their hosts, and at least 50% of species on Earth are parasites (see Glossary; Price, 1980 ; Windsor, 1988 ; Poulin and Morand, 2004...

... and measured the capacity of colonies to maintain sugar supply through compensatory feeding. First, we demonstrated that ants regulated carbohydrate intake at a collective and individual level. Initially, ants consumed most and recruited fastest in response to more concentrated than to dilute sugar solutions...

...A. Köhler; L. Verburgt; S. W. Nicolson SUMMARY Avian nectarivores show compensatory feeding by adjusting their volumetric intake in response to variation in nectar concentration. This study used an infrared photo-detection system to investigate the short-term feeding patterns of whitebellied...

... breadth: the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria . Fourth instar caterpillars were provided with artificial foods consisting of different ratios of protein to digestible carbohydrate in no-choice, choice and compensatory feeding experiments. In the no-choice test, caterpillars were confined...
