Browse Availability, Bite Size, and Effects of Stand Age on Species Composition and Browse Density for Moose in Northeastern Minnesota
… moose foraging behavior by measuring large feeding stations. We tested the hypotheses that (1) browse density is higher at large feeding stations than at random locations along a foraging path, (2) browse density is higher at large feeding stations than at randomly chosen feeding stations …

Influencing habitat selection and use through conspecific attraction and supplementary feeding
… source site and probably many die. Supplementary feeding provides energy rich food, which helps to ensure birds are well-nourished until they can discover natural food sources at the release sites. Conspecific song playback as an attractant for many bird species can be used as public information …

Foraging Activity and Food Preferences of the Odorous House Ant (Tapinoma sessile Say) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
… to September 2001 by attracting T. sessile to feeding stations containing a 20% sucrose solution. Ant foraging activity was recorded over a twenty-four hour period along with ambient temperature to examine possible correlations with ant activity patterns. Results indicate that foraging activity …

Acorn Contribution to Mammalian Energetics
… between the oak subgenera. Different feeding stations were constructed to distinguish between acorns eaten by three mammal taxa (mice, squirrels, and deer). The numbers of acorns removed from feeding stations (September 2004 – February 2005) were used as a measure of acorn consumption. …

Influence of the social hierarchy on gray squirrel behavior
Based on 750 social interactions, largely at feeding stations, gray squirrels in two woodlots were ranked in a social hierarchy by the percentile rank formula and by the linear method. Correlations of rank in the social hierarchy with age, size of home range, and feeding activity under inclement …

Bird utilization of habitat in residential areas
… area of lawn and garden), A attraction devices (feeding stations and nest boxes), and sources of disturbance (housing density, vehicles, dogs and cats). Bird species diversity and degree of utilization by most of the common bird species were found to be different among the residential areas, …

Intraspecific and Interspecific Agonistic Behavior in Chipmunks, TAMIAS MERRIAMI, T. OBSCURUS, and T. SPECIOSUS (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
… of 1983 and 1984. Chipmunks were attracted to feeding stations baited with sunflower seeds. Their aggressive interactions were classed as displacement, short chase, long chase, or fight. Over 500 encounters were recorded.</p> <p>Short chase was the most frequent agonistic mode, followed by …

The expansion of the eastern house finch population and its impact on populations of house sparrows, purple finches and American goldfinches
… varies erratically.Observations at backyard feeding stations frequented by House Finches and House Sparrows show that House Finches tend to displace other House Finches more often than would be expected if the displacements occurred in proportion to the frequency at which the birds appear in …

Habitat use and responses to odours by rodents in New Zealand
… Furthermore, free-living rats did not avoid feeding stations tainted with synthetic carnivore odours. Whilst some rats avoid predator odours, they are unlikely to be suitable for the widespread repellency of rats in New Zealand.
