... on artificial surfaces. However, recent studies discovered that adhesion of cribellate nanofibres increases massively after contact with insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs). This raises the question whether insect CHCs generally influence prey capture. We compared the adhesion of cribellate, ecribellate gluey...

... foraging in fast flows because of a high attack cost and low prey capture success associated with leaving a station-holding refuge to intercept prey. By integrating optimum foraging theory with empirical data from respirometry and video tracking, we developed a mathematical model to predict when drift...

As evidenced by the seals in this study, biting was associated with different ingestion behaviors, including prey capture, external prey processing and prey manipulation. Pierce feeding was characterized by curling back the lateral sides...

Using acoustic DTAGs, we demonstrate that just prior to prey interception these delphinids change their acoustic...
