Improving the Yield and Nutritional Quality of Forage Crops
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Despite being some of the most important crops globally, there has been limited research on forages when compared with cereals, fruits, and vegetables.

The Advantage of Foraging Myopically [PDF]
J. Stat. Mech. 073501 (2018), 2018 We study the dynamics of a \emph{myopic} forager that randomly wanders on a lattice in which each site contains one unit of food. Upon encountering a food-containing site, the forager eats all the food at this site with probability $p<1$; otherwise, the food is left undisturbed.

Honey bee foraging distance depends on month and forage type [PDF]
Apidologie, 2015 To investigate the distances at which honey bee foragers collect nectar and pollen, we analysed 5,484 decoded waggle dances made to natural forage sites to determine monthly foraging distance for each forage type.

Current Biology, 2022 Before visiting your local supermarket, do you write your food shopping list in the order you expect to encounter the items as you walk around, aisle by aisle? This way, you minimise your travel distance, saving time and effort. Many other animals do the same.

Evaluation of the resistance of medicago breeding samples to the action of abiotic stressors at the early stages of ontogenesis [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2023 New knowledge was obtained about the relationship between the parameters of photosynthesis, transpiration and dark respiration in alfalfa varieties of various ecological and geographical origin at the early stages of ontogenesis, depending on the ...

Neuroscience of foraging [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 The papers that accompany this Research Topic fall at the intersection of foraging theory and neuroscience. Why does such a topic merit a Research Topic in Frontiers in Decision Neuroscience? And what does foraging theory have to do with decision neuroscience?

Breeding of cocksfoot cultivars with different maturity [PDF]
Selekcija i Semenarstvo, 2017 One of the most important criteria in breeding process of perennial grasses is maturity. Cultivars with different maturity play a very important role in utilization of perennial grasses, by providing the ability to create a mixture of different aspects ...

How Smart Should a Forager Be? [PDF]
J. Stat. Mech. 033402 (2022), 2022 We introduce an idealized model of an intelligent forager in which higher intelligence corresponds to a larger spatial range over which the forager can detect food. Such a forager diffuses randomly whenever the nearest food is more distant than the forager's detection range, $R$, and moves ballistically towards the nearest food inside its detection ...
