Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the instrumentation of sufficient animals ...

Floor Substrate Preferences of Chickens: A Meta-Analysis
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Environmental enrichment promotes sensory and motor stimulation for species-typical behaviors, which in turn enhance animal well-being. For farmed Galliformes, housing systems often limit enrichment to bedding and litter, that simultaneously act as ...

Foraging ecology of the African Penguin Spheniscus demersus in relation to ocean physical processes. [PDF]
, 2012 Includes abstract.This research demonstrated the dual utility of bio-loggers as a method for generating accurate, high-resolution oceanographic data. These data can be used in future studies, generating a cross disciplinary platform for research.

Physical Review E, 2018 We introduce the \emph{frugal foraging} model in which a forager performs a discrete-time random walk on a lattice, where each site initially contains $\mathcal{S}$ food units. The forager metabolizes one unit of food at each step and starves to death when it last ate $\mathcal{S}$ steps in the past. Whenever the forager decides to eat, it consumes all

Energetic synchrony throughout the non‐breeding season in common guillemots from four colonies
Journal of Avian Biology, 2023 The non‐breeding season presents significant energetic challenges to birds that breed in temperate or polar regions, with clear implications for population dynamics.

Winter Active Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) Achieve High Foraging Rates in Urban Britain [PDF]
, 2010 BackgroundForaging bumblebees are normally associated with spring and summer in northern Europe. However, there have been sightings of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris during the warmer winters in recent years in southern England.

Optimal random search using limited spatial memory [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Lévy walks are known to be efficient movements because Lévy walkers search wide areas while restricting returns to previously visited sites. A self-avoiding walk (SAW) is a series of moves on a lattice that visit the same place only once.

Automatically tracking feeding behavior in populations of foraging C. elegans
eLife, 2022 Caenorhabditis elegans feeds on bacteria and other small microorganisms which it ingests using its pharynx, a neuromuscular pump. Currently, measuring feeding behavior requires tracking a single animal, indirectly estimating food intake from population ...
