Waste, weeds, and wild food

open access: yesEchoGéo, 2019
The aim of this paper is to define the scope and an initial agenda for a critical geography of urban food collecting. It provides an overview of a multidisciplinary literature regarding patterns of foraging and scavenging to develop a theoretical ...

The foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review.

open access: yes, 2018
Foraging behaviour is one of the distinctive behaviours of honey bees, Apis mellifera. This behaviour is the link between the honey bee colony and the ambient environment.

Short-term consequences of nutritional depression on foraging behaviour of dark bush-crickets Pholidoptera griseoaptera (Orthoptera: Ensifera)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Temporary malnutrition during juvenile development often negatively influences the life-history decisions of adults. Hence, individuals should avoid this effect by compensatory feeding on the limited resource when the food situation improves.

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.

How wild edible plants and mushrooms have been approached within the ecosystem services framework: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesOne Ecosystem
The 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).

Traces of a Neonicotinoid Induce Precocious Foraging and Reduce Foraging Performance in Honey Bees.

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Technology, 2019
There is increasing worldwide concern about the impacts of pesticide residues on honey bees and bee colony survival, but how sublethal effects of pesticides on bees might cause colony failure remains highly controversial, with field data giving very ...

Vegetated highway medians as foraging habitat for small mammals

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Wildlife passages are intended to facilitate movement of animals across roads while mitigating barrier effects. A less appreciated aspect of mitigation is how such wildlife passages may be used for reasons that are supplementary to their intended purpose

Utilisation of intensive foraging zones by female Australian fur seals. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).
