Publisher Summary Foraging is a fundamental behavior that defines animals. There are many ways to forage, but many of them can be placed into the framework of optimality theory, which is not limited to foraging behavior—almost any decision can be optimized—but it has perhaps had the biggest impact there. When considering optimality and animal behavior,

In this chapter, we consider practical aspects of the foraging behaviour of insect natural enemies in its widest sense (so wide that we even include a few examples concerning non-insect arthopods, such as mites). Initially, most insect natural enemies must locate the habitat where potential victims may be found.

This chapter considers foraging behavior and its connections with learning and memory. The chapter reviews the basic models of foraging that behavioral ecologists have developed over the last 30 years. These models provide an economic framework for the study of foraging.

Are All Foragers the Same? Towards a Classification of Foragers
Sociologia Ruralis, 2021AbstractSome estimates suggest that almost a quarter of European households have members that forage, that is, pick wild products. Thus, foraging remains an important way for people to engage with their surrounding environment. Foraging has been associated both with the potential negative impacts it may have and with the potential positive effects it ...

Studies of regional and chronological variation in skeletal markers of physical activity in past hunter-gatherer populations typically focus on adults, however, patterns of bone strength develop predominantly during childhood and adolescence. Ethnographic studies suggest that differences in environment and subsistence strategy would have brought about ...

The foraging behavior of honeybees on hairy vetch foraging methods and learning to forage
Insectes Sociaux, 1956The honeybee can reach the nectar from the mouth of the hairy vetch blossom by tripping it, or she can insert her tongue between the petals at the base of the corolla tube and reach the nectar. These non-trippers are called base workers. The foraging method is learned and becomes fixed through success at foraging from a very few blossoms in one manner ...

FORAGE: a model of forage intake in beef cattle
Ecological Modelling, 1992Abstract A deterministic simulation model (FORAGE) has been developed as an interface between the plant and animal components of a general rangeland ecosystem model (SPUR). The model predicts forage intake and diet selection of grazing beef cattle by simulating the mechanistic components of grazing behavior.

International audience ; For small insects, such as honey bees, foraging represents an incredibly costly behavior. Large amounts of energy are required to keep body temperature warm, to lift body weight and fly across long distances toward food resources, to carry heavy nectar, pollen, water or resin loads, and to maintain a functioning brain for ...
