Honeybee rebel workers invest less in risky foraging than normal workers [PDF]
, 2018 In eusocial insect colonies, workers have individual preferences for performing particular tasks. Previous research suggests that these preferences might be associated with worker reproductive potential; however, different studies have yielded ...

Optimal foraging strategies can be learned [PDF]
New J. Phys. 26 013010 (2024), 2023 The foraging behavior of animals is a paradigm of target search in nature. Understanding which foraging strategies are optimal and how animals learn them are central challenges in modeling animal foraging. While the question of optimality has wide-ranging implications across fields such as economy, physics, and ecology, the question of learnability is ...

Foraging under conditions of short-term exploitative competition: The case of stock traders [PDF]
, 2013 Theory purports that animal foraging choices evolve to maximize returns, such as net energy intake. Empirical research in both human and nonhuman animals reveals that individuals often attend to the foraging choices of their competitors while making ...

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.

A Common Pesticide Decreases Foraging Success and Survival in Honey Bees
Science, 2012 Bad News for Bees Neonicotinoid insecticides were introduced in the early 1990s and have become one of the most widely used crop pesticides in the world.

Optimizing a jump-diffusion model of a starving forager [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 98, 052406 (2018), 2018 We analyze the movement of a starving forager on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, where each location contains one unit of food. As the forager lands on sites with food, it consumes the food, leaving the sites empty. If the forager lands consecutively on $s$ empty sites, then it will starve.

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

Does Greed Help a Forager Survive? [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 062119 (2017), 2017 We investigate the role of greed on the lifetime of a random-walking forager on an initially resource-rich lattice. Whenever the forager lands on a food-containing site, all the food there is eaten and the forager can hop $\mathcal{S}$ more steps without food before starving.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Significance Bees pollinate the majority of flowering plant species, including agricultural crops. The pollen they obtain is their main protein and lipid source that fuels development and reproduction.

Optimal Foraging By Bacteriophages Through Host Avoidance [PDF]
, 2008 Optimal foraging theory explains diet restriction as an adaptation to best utilize an array of foods differing in quality, the poorest items not worth the lost opportunity of finding better ones.
