In lizards, actively foraging insectivores identify animal prey using lingually sampled chemical cues, but ambush foragers do not. |
|
These active insectivores are usually pretty small, roughly 5.5 inches in length, give or take a half-inch. |
|
On the breeding grounds, Hermit Thrushes are strict insectivores, eating primarily coleopteran adults and larvae and lepidopteran larvae. |
|
Offering seeds may attract lots of birds, but generally insectivores prefer suet. |
|
Woodcreepers live primarily in lowland tropical forests and are mainly insectivores. |
|
Omnivores and insectivores exhibit different fuel-use strategies to overcome the physiological challenges of migration. |
|
Some mammal teeth from the Paleocene of France show characters of both bats and insectivores. |
|
When the dinosaurs ruled the world, the mammals hid in the shadows, daring to grow no bigger than shrew-like insectivores that hunted at night. |
|
Forest dwelling mammals include beech martens, wildcats, genets, badgers and wild boar, as well as a number of small insectivores. |
|
Are frugivores relatively rare and insectivores quite common? |
|
Insist that insectivores be processed as rapidly as possible in cool or foggy weather. |
|
Commonly, juvenile aquatic herbivores are insectivores and become herbivorous as they approach adulthood. |
|
The suborders either evolved separately from flightless insectivores or diverged very early in chiropteran history. |
|
They become well developed, however, in some insectivores, chiropterans, rodents, and lagomorphs, although their function is obscure. |
|
His private devotion is to swifts, those high-screeching insectivores that stop flying only to breed and fly again. |
|
Primates, insectivores, and condylarths are recognized by the beginning of the Cenozoic, and by the start of the Eocene, most modern groups had become established. |
|
All moles are insectivores and all of them are great tunnelers. |
|
The tympanic bone in the insectivores still forms a simple ring around the middle area, unlike the large capsulelike structure found in higher mammals. |
|
Although it kills insectivores, such as moles and shrews, it rarely eats them because of the pungent scent glands on their flanks. |
|
Three guilds comprised 19 species of ground-foraging birds and included 4,614 invertebrate feeders, 906 granivores, and 125 insectivores. |
|
|
Rabbits, most rodents, and some insectivores, which lack scrotal sacs, have instead a wide inguinal canal into which the testes may be drawn and from which they are retracted when in danger of injury. |
|
Some shrews and other insectivores have toxic saliva. |
|
Absent in monotremes, marsupials, carnivores, cetaceans, and in some insectivores, chiropterans, and primates, seminal vesicles are exceptionally large in rhesus monkeys and small in man. |
|
They are small insectivores, the males mostly brightly coloured in various combinations of red, blue, white, and black, the females light brown with a red tail. |
|
Granivorous birds were three times more abundant in the playa site than insectivores during the summer, but decreased to one-half during the winter. |
|
All chameleons are primarily insectivores that feed by ballistically projecting their long tongues from their mouths to capture prey located some distance away. |
