Foraging Behavior

This chapter explores foraging behavior. Animals selectively choose where, on what, and how long to forage. They eat to acquire energy and nutrients for survival and reproduction. Animals find food using a variety of sensory modalities. Natural selection favors modalities that efficiently give information, but a modality's efficiency can vary with ...

Emergence of Communication in Foraging Behavior

2009
Communication in multi-agent systems is an efficient way for solving cooperative tasks. Self-organizing communication help us understand the origin of the language and also it reduces designing time. In this paper, the effect of self-organizing communication in a foraging problem is studied.

Foraging Behavior

2001
Foraging is the set of processes by which organisms acquire energy and nutrients, whether the food is directly consumed (feeding), stored for later consumption (hoarding), or given to other individuals (provisioning). Foraging behavior plays an important role in evolutionary biology, not only because it is a major determinant of the survival, growth ...

Learning and Foraging Behavior

1982
Arguments are presented for the integration of the psychological study of animal learning with the ecological study of foraging behavior. In the first section, several examples from the psychological literature (the matching law, taste-aversion learning, and learning set) are discussed in an attempt to demonstrate how these areas require a more ...

Corticosterone and Foraging Behavior in a Pelagic Seabird

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2007
Because endocrine mechanisms are thought to mediate behavioral responses to changes in the environment, examining these mechanisms is essential for understanding how long-lived seabirds adjust their foraging decisions to contrasting environmental conditions in order to maximize their fitness.

Fossil Foraging Behavior: Computer Simulation

Science, 1969
Meander patterns produced by ancient sediment feeders can be simulated by digital computer with x-y plotter output. Change in input constants (with a single program) produces variation comparable to genetically controlled behavioral differences between species and genera.
