Behavior Systems Approach to Object Play: Stone Handling Repertoire as a Measure of Propensity for Complex Foraging and Percussive Tool Use in the Genus Macaca [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2017 Stone handling (SH), has been identified in four closely related primate species of the Macaca genus. We provide the first ethogram of SH in long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), a primate species known to use stones for extractive foraging.

Analysis of adaptive foraging in an intraguild predation system [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2003 An intraguild predation (IGP) system with adaptive foraging behavior was analyzed using a simple mathematical model. The main aim was to explore how the adaptive behavior affects species interactions as well as how such interactions derived from ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Animals prefer to aggregate in patches with high abundance and availability of food resources. Group foragers typically receive information about food resources by monitoring external events and the behavior of neighbors.

Does foraging success predict subsequent foraging behavior in Pygoscelis penguins?
, 2023 Oliver, Matthew J.In a patchy prey environment, optimal foraging theory predicts that central place foragers will discretize horizontal movement and vertical movements into directed and resident foraging behaviors and that high foraging success should ...
