..., we observed a preference of C. villosum for species with more seeds such as F. nymphiifolia and F. obtusifolia . In combination with their specialized feeding behaviour, this preference leads to an increased nutrient intake per fig. This enables C. villosum to satisfy its daily nutritional...

... of the feeder, the moths approached it at high speed and did not slow down appreciably, nor did they extend their proboscises, even when close to the target. This shows that odour is used for goal-directed behaviour towards a flower, but not necessarily for the feeding behaviour of the moth. In contrast...

We conclude that the tarsal gustatory sensilla play an essential role in perceiving sugars available in floral nectar and provide chemosensory information determining feeding behaviour. Tarsal taste-receptor-neuron responses to lysine are implicated in oviposition behaviour...

This is the first time that the modulation of feeding behaviour by the feeding status has been analysed in a hemimetabolous blood-sucking...

We conclude that distal rhynchokinesis is a mechanism that could contribute to the flexible feeding behaviour of long-distance migratory shorebirds,enhancing small prey profitability and so improving foraging efficiency, and may have played a role in the evolutionary radiation of Scolopacidae...
