... with their specialized feeding behaviour, this preference leads to an increased nutrient intake per fig. This enables C. villosum to satisfy its daily nutritional requirements with a lower number of figs ( Nogueira and Peracchi, 2003 ) and reduces the number of energetically expensive foraging flights that involve...

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...

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...
