The foraging behaviour and population dynamics of the northern gannet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The northern gannet Morus bassanus population has been increasing in size over the last century. Larger gannet colonies in the British Isles are growing more slowly per capita than the smaller ones.

Spatial variation in foraging behaviour of a marine top predator (Phoca vitulina) determined by a large-scale satellite tagging program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The work was supported by the United Kingdom Department of Trade and industry, now the Department of Energy and Climate Change (http://www. decc.gov.uk/) through its Strategic Environmental Assessment programme (http://www.offshore-sea. .uk). The funders

Effectiveness of the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) Program: Interval Selections With Uniform Premium Subsidy Rates

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines interval selection in the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index (PRF‐RI) program and evaluates how uniform premium subsidy rates affect optimal interval selections. Using South Dakota as a case study, we show a trend of increasing selection of nonproduction intervals from 2013 to 2024, raising concerns about program

Reassessing Intertemporal Choice: Human decision-making is more optimal in a foraging task than in a self-control task

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Many contemporary concerns (e.g., addiction, failure to save) can be viewed as intertemporal choice problems in which the consequences of choices are realized at different times.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...

Reduced foraging in the presence of predator cues by the Black Spiny-tailed Iguana, Ctenosaura similis (Sauria: Iguanidae) [PDF]

open access: yesPhyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2010
The presence of a predator may have direct and indirect effects on the behavior of the prey. Although altered behavior may help prey avoid predators, it also can have a potential impact on critical activities such as foraging.

Honey Bee Location- and Time-Linked Memory Use in Novel Foraging Situations: Floral Color Dependency

open access: yesInsects, 2014
Learning facilitates behavioral plasticity, leading to higher success rates when foraging. However, memory is of decreasing value with changes brought about by moving to novel resource locations or activity at different times of the day.

Particle Swarm Optimization as a Noise‐Tolerant Strategy for High‐Entropy Alloy Research

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A customized particle swarm optimization algorithm is benchmarked against batch Bayesian optimization across four high‐entropy alloy oxygen‐reduction landscapes. While both methods locate the global optimum comparably under noise‐free conditions, Bayesian optimization’s surrogate model tends to overfit noisy data.

Adaptive bacterial foraging optimization algorithm based on social foraging strategy

open access: yes, 2014
In 2002, K. M. Passino proposed Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) for distributed optimization and control. Biologic foraging strategies are diverse.
