Utilisation of intensive foraging zones by female Australian fur seals. [PDF]
, 2015 Within a heterogeneous environment, animals must efficiently locate and utilise foraging patches. One way animals can achieve this is by increasing residency times in areas where foraging success is highest (area-restricted search).

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?

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1982 In Experiment 1, six naive pigeons were trained on a foraging schedule characterized by different states beginning with a search state in which completion of a fixed‐interval on a white key led to a choice state. In the choice state the subject could, by appropriate responding on a fixed ratio of three, either accept or reject the schedule of ...

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.

Effects of habitat composition and landscape structure on worker foraging distances of five bumblebee species [PDF]
, 2016 Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) are important pollinators of both crops and wild flowers. Their contribution to this essential ecosystem service has been threatened over recent decades by changes in land use, which have led to declines in their populations.

How wild edible plants and mushrooms have been approached within the ecosystem services framework: a systematic review [PDF]
One EcosystemThe diverse historical and traditional uses associated with wild edible plants (WEP) and wild edible mushrooms (WEM) make them good examples of natural resources related to both provisioning and cultural ecosystem services (ES).

Shortening day length as a previously unrecognized selective pressure for early breeding in a bird with long parental care [PDF]
, 2014 Several different selective pressures have been suggested to explain an intense competition for early return to breeding grounds in birds. In this study we hypothesized that shortening day length during summer months may constitute additional ...
