Furthermore, three feeding guilds, i.e.,
Insectivore, Omnivore, and Carnivore/Piscivore-/Insectivore of migrant birds were recorded in five habitats.
Significant use of cottonwood patches during both seasons by several individual species and by
insectivores generally indicates that food resources may be higher in this habitat compared to tamarisk and residential patches.
When the probability of sampling is taken into account, we can draw the inferred ranges for the rodent and
insectivore genera.
Noting to four was reported in
insectivore bats [24,14].
Pitcher plants such as sarracenia purple flower like the same conditions as other
insectivores and, as with any group of plants, once you get the conditions right, the whole plant group should be within your grasp.
Tenrecs are small, insect-eating mammals once classified as
insectivores with moles and hedgehogs but are now recognized as members of a separate order in the superclade, Afrotheria.

This programme follows 24 hours in the life of a Leptictidium, a small, hopping
insectivore, as she attempts to keep her offspring safe from the dangers of the forest.
Fishes also were identified by principal feeding group (herbivore,
insectivore, piscivores) for statistical purposes (Table 3).
Other members of the oligarchy were a 6-g hover-gleaning
insectivore, Oncostoma olivaceum, which frequented the abundant midstory vine tangles; the putative core species of canopy
insectivore flocks, the vireo Hylophilus decurtatus; and the omnivorous, but apparently primarily frugivorous, treetop flycatcher Z immerius vilissimus (Wetmore et al.
