In this chapter, we consider practical aspects of the foraging behaviour of insect natural enemies in its widest sense (so wide that we even include a few examples concerning non-insect arthopods, such as mites). Initially, most insect natural enemies must locate the habitat where potential victims may be found.

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 ...

Meerkat foraging behaviour modelling
2017 7th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering (ICCSCE), 2017Suricata suricatta or known as meerkats are social-living mongoose from the Herpestidae group and live in the desert of southern Africa. They colonise in social groups that co-operate in vigilance, territorial defence and co-operative breeding. Similar to other social-animals, meerkats also exhibit behaviours such as nursing, scent marking and grooming.

Risk-indifferent foraging behaviour in honeybees
Animal Behaviour, 2000We studied the influence of variance in reward volume on choice behaviour of honeybees, Apis mellifera carnica, by training bees to collect sucrose solution from four newly developed artificial feeders. The feeders were electromechanical devices, each controlled by a microprocessor, which monitored the experiments, controlled reward delivery and stored

Macroscopic analysis of robot foraging behaviour
Connection Science, 2004Microscopic analysis is a standard approach in the study of robot behaviour. Typically, the approach comprises the analysis of a single (or sometimes a few) robot-environment system(s) to reveal specific properties of robot behaviour. In contrast to microscopic analysis, macroscopic analysis focuses on averaged properties of systems.

Foraging behaviour of Armillaria rhizomorph systems
Mycological Research, 2005The foraging behaviour of Armillaria rhizomorph systems is poorly understood owing to their cryptic position within the soil. We investigated foraging in a homogeneous environment (i.e. agar), finding that rhizomorph systems of the more parasitic species, A. mellea, A. ostoyae, and A.

Modelling foraging behaviour of ant colonies
1995A major difficulty in understanding how an insect society functions is to be able to deduce collective activity from individual behaviour. Collective behaviour is not just the sum of each individual's behaviour, as patterns can emerge at the level of the society resulting from interactions between individuals or between individuals and the environment.

Context dependence in foraging behaviour of Achillea millefolium
Oecologia, 2012Context-dependent foraging behaviour is acknowledged and well documented for a diversity of animals and conditions. The contextual determinants of plant foraging behaviour, however, are poorly understood. Plant roots encounter patchy distributions of nutrients and soil fungi.

Understanding foraging behaviour in spatially heterogeneous environments
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2005The role of stochasticity and spatial heterogeneity in foraging systems is investigated. We formulate a spatially explicit model which describes the behaviour of grazing animals in response to local information using simple stochastic rules. In particular the model reflects the biology in that decisions to move to a new location are based on visual ...
