Optimal foraging strategies can be learned [PDF]
New J. Phys. 26 013010 (2024), 2023 The foraging behavior of animals is a paradigm of target search in nature. Understanding which foraging strategies are optimal and how animals learn them are central challenges in modeling animal foraging. While the question of optimality has wide-ranging implications across fields such as economy, physics, and ecology, the question of learnability is ...

Viruses in sanctuary chimpanzees across Africa
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious disease is a major concern for both wild and captive primate populations. Primate sanctuaries in Africa provide critical protection to thousands of wild‐born, orphan primates confiscated from the bushmeat and pet trades. However, uncertainty about the infectious agents these individuals potentially harbor has important implications ...

Optimizing a jump-diffusion model of a starving forager [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 98, 052406 (2018), 2018 We analyze the movement of a starving forager on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, where each location contains one unit of food. As the forager lands on sites with food, it consumes the food, leaving the sites empty. If the forager lands consecutively on $s$ empty sites, then it will starve.

Research on Re-Searching: Interrupted Foraging is Not Disrupted Foraging
Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023 AbstractIn classic visual search, observers typically search for the presence of a target in a scene or display. In foraging tasks, there may be multiple targets in the same display (or “patch”). Observers typically search for and collect these target items in one patch until they decide to leave that patch and move to the next one.

Examination of soils under grasslands in the territory of Kosjeric municipality [PDF]
Zemljište i biljka, 2019 For successful plant production, optimum conditions for microbiological processes need to be ensured, since micro-organisms play a vital role in maintaining fertility of the soil.

Dry Forages: Process and techniques (OK-Net EcoFeed Practice Abstract) [PDF]
, 2020 To obtain the best forage quality, cutting at the correct time is important, when cellulose and lignin content is not too high. During spring, cutting early is the best option to preserve forage quality; for grasses, the correct time is beginning of ...

Does Greed Help a Forager Survive? [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 062119 (2017), 2017 We investigate the role of greed on the lifetime of a random-walking forager on an initially resource-rich lattice. Whenever the forager lands on a food-containing site, all the food there is eaten and the forager can hop $\mathcal{S}$ more steps without food before starving.

A universal equation to predict methane production of forage-fed cattle in Australia
, 2016 The methods for estimating methane emissions from cattle as used in the Australian national inventory are based on older data that have now been superseded by a large amount of more recent data.

Fishing amplifies forage fish population collapses
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015 Significance Forage fish provide substantial benefits to both humans and ocean food webs, but these benefits may be in conflict unless there are effective policies governing human activities, such as fishing.
