Human foraging behavior in a virtual environment [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2004
We have developed an experimental platform that allows a large number of human participants to interact in real time within a common virtual world. Within this environment, human participants foraged for resources distributed in two spatially separated pools.

The hippocampus and exploration: dynamically evolving behavior and neural representations

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
We develop a normative statistical approach to exploratory behavior called information foraging. Information foraging highlights the specific processes that contribute to active, rather than passive, exploration and learning.

Foraging, Fear and Behavioral Variation in a Traplining Hummingbird

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Traditionally, foraging behavior has been explained as the response to a trade-off between energetic gain from feeding resources and potential costs from concomitant risks. However, an increasing number of studies has shown that this view fails to explain an important fraction of the variation in foraging across a variety of taxa.

Harvester ant colony variation in foraging activity and response to humidity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Collective behavior is produced by interactions among individuals. Differences among groups in individual response to interactions can lead to ecologically important variation among groups in collective behavior.

Deep learning model for detecting fish foraging movement and distance

open access: yesEcological Informatics
Koi (Cyprinus carpio) is a high-value ornamental fish species with both ecological and economic importance, particularly in East Asia, Notably, few studies have conducted quantitative analysis of koi foraging behavior in intelligent aquaculture systems ...

Agent‐based modeling may help to merge research traditions in foraging ecology in Europe and North America

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Although ducks have long been popular research subjects in both North America and Europe, geographical divergences in research orientation have developed during the past several decades for studying foraging ecology.

Differential regulation of the foraging gene associated with task behaviors in harvester ants

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2011
Background The division of labor in social insect colonies involves transitions by workers from one task to another and is critical to the organization and ecological success of colonies.

Foraging initiation and foraging behavior in high and low performance of Iranian honeybee, Apis mellifera meda (Hym.: Apidae), colonies [PDF]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2014
The starting of foraging is likely the most important phenomenon in the age based division of labor in honeybees. It also prepare one of the most complicated phenotypic trait in biological system since the intercourse of different external, social and ...

Effects of fat and protein levels on foraging preferences of tannin in scatter-hoarding rodents.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Both as consumers and dispersers of seeds, scatter-hoarding rodents often play an important role in the reproductive ecology of many plant species. However, the seeds of many plant species contain tannins, which are a diverse group of water-soluble ...

Predation risk and floral rewards: How pollinators balance these conflicts and the consequences on plant fitness

open access: yesCurrent Research in Insect Science
Foraging behavior of pollinators is shaped by, among other factors, the conflict between maximizing resource intake and minimizing predation risk; yet, empirical studies quantifying variation in both forces are rare, compared to those investigating each ...
