Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the dietary niche: When is a mammalian herbivore a specialist?
TL;DR: The need for further work on defining the realized and fundamental niches, comparing among herbivores across categories conducted under similar conditions, and understanding the nature of trade-offs required for specialization and generalization for both community and phylogenetically based analyses is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploitation of secondary metabolites by animals: A response to homeostatic challenges
Jennifer S. Forbey,Alan L. Harvey,Michael A. Huffman,Frederick D. Provenza,Roger J. Sullivan,Deniz Tasdemir +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the probability of SM exploitation is determined by the relative difference between the cost of a homeostatic challenge and the toxicity of the SM and various predictions that can be made when considering behavior under aHomeostatic perspective are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dilemma of foraging herbivores: dealing with food and fear
TL;DR: It is argued that behaviour is the interface enabling herbivores to stay or quit food patches in response to their physiological tolerance to these risks, and provides an integrated platform advancing herbivore foraging theory with food quality and predation risk at its core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemistry predicts habitat selection by an avian herbivore at multiple spatial scales
TL;DR: The results provide the first evidence for multi-scale habitat selection by an avian herbivore on the basis of phytochemistry, and they suggest that phytochemical may be a fundamental driver of habitat selection for vertebrate herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emerging role of pharmacology in understanding consumer–prey interactions in marine and freshwater systems
Erik E. Sotka,Jennifer S. Forbey,Michael H. Horn,Alistair G. B. Poore,David Raubenheimer,Kristen E. Whalen +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that a pharmacological approach to consumer-prey interactions will be as productive within aquatic systems as it has been for understanding terrestrial systems, and how consumer- Prey interactions are altered by global changes in pH, water temperature and ultraviolet radiation, or by pollution is argued.
