EltonTraits 1.0: Species-level foraging attributes of the world's birds and mammals
Ecology, 2014 Species are characterized by physiological, behavioral, and ecological attributes that are all subject to varying evolutionary and ecological constraints and jointly determine species' role and function in ecosystems.

Design Realities, 2018 This chapter for the Routledge Handbook of Food and Landscape (2018) addresses the place of one of the oldest human landscape practices – foraging – in a world where the business of nourishment and the lands that produce foodstuffs continue to be developed on relentlessly industrial lines. Arguing that foraging, agriculture and hunting are, in practice,

Long-term individual foraging site fidelity--why some gannets don't change their spots.
Ecology, 2015 Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically equivalent. However, it is increasingly recognized that populations may comprise individuals who differ consistently in their diets and foraging behaviors.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Throughout evolution the foraging and echolocation behaviors as well as the motor systems of bats have been adapted to the tasks they have to perform while searching and acquiring food.

Neural Mechanisms of Foraging [PDF]
Science, 2012 Looking for Greener Pastures Humans, like other animals, have evolved to forage. Brain-imaging studies by Kolling et al. (p. 95 ) suggest that activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex supplies a continuous signal of environmental ...

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?

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.

Unusual echolocation behaviour of the common sword-nosed bat Lonchorhina aurita: an adaptation to aerial insectivory in a phyllostomid bat? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Most insectivorous bat species in the Neotropical family Phyllostomidae glean insects from ground, water or vegetation surfaces. They use similar and stereotypical echolocation calls that are generally very short (less than 1–3 ms), multi-harmonic and ...

Humpback whales feed on hatchery-released juvenile salmon [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Humpback whales are remarkable for the behavioural plasticity of their feeding tactics and the diversity of their diets. Within the last decade at hatchery release sites in Southeast Alaska, humpback whales have begun exploiting juvenile salmon, a ...
