The Advantage of Foraging Myopically [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 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 ...

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.

Genealogy, 2023 Early childhood education (ECE) institutions in Norway highly value nature and outdoor activities. The framework plan for kindergartens encourages that children get insights into the origin of food.

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?

A novel method using camera traps to record effectiveness of artificial perches for raptors
California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2020 Agricultural areas can benefit from the reduction of rodents by raptors, yet many croplands and pastures do not provide adequate perching structures needed by raptors to hunt effectively.

Evaluating temporal and spatial transferability of a tidal inundation model for foraging waterbirds
Ecosphere, 2022 For ecosystem models to be applicable outside their context of development, temporal and spatial transferability must be demonstrated. This presents a challenge for modeling intertidal ecosystems where spatiotemporal variation arises at multiple scales ...

Daphnia magna trade‐off safety from UV radiation for food
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Research on diel vertical migration (DVM) is generally conducted at the population level, whereas few studies have focused on how individual animals behaviorally respond to threats when also having access to foraging opportunities.

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 ...
