Neuroscience of foraging [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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?

CHOICE AND FORAGING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesCognitive 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.

Learning From Loss After Risk: Dissociating Reward Pursuit and Reward Valuation in a Naturalistic Foraging Task

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2019
A fundamental feature of addiction is continued use despite high-cost losses. One possible driver of this feature is a dissociation between reward pursuit and reward valuation. To test for this dissociation, we employed a foraging paradigm with real-time

The biology of seed discrimination and its role in shaping the foraging ecology of carabids: A review

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Species of carabid (ground) beetles are among the most important postdispersal weed seed predators in temperate arable lands. Field studies have shown that carabid beetles can remove upwards of 65%–90% of specific weed seeds shed in arable fields each ...

The influence of prey density and fish size on prey consumption in common sole (Solea solea L.)

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources, 2018
We examined the influence of prey density and fish size on prey consumption in common sole (Solea solea L.) foraging on buried ragworm Alitta virens (Sars) (formerly known as Nereis virens (Sars)).

Kinematic comparison of bell contraction by four species of hydromedusae

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2000
Bell form strongly affects the hydrodynamic performance of swimming hydromedusae. Although the relationship between bell shape and hydrodynamic parameters has been documented for static models of different bell shapes, the dynamic differences in ...

Do We Need to Use Bats as Bioindicators?

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Bats show responses to anthropogenic stressors linked to changes in other ecosystem components such as insects, and as K-selected mammals, exhibit fast population declines.

Trophic Ecology of the Ant Pachycondyla crassinoda (Formicidae: Ponerinae) in a Lowland Neotropical Forest

open access: yesSociobiology, 2016
- Pachycondyla crassinoda (Latr. 1902) is one of the largest ant species in the New World tropics. We studied its foraging habits in the field in a lowland forest in Trinidad, West Indies, with supplemental observations in the laboratory.

Bumble Bees (Bombus terrestris) Use Time-Memory to Associate Reward with Color and Time of Day

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Circadian clocks regulate ecologically important complex behaviors in honey bees, but it is not clear whether similar capacities exist in other species of bees.
