Neonicotinoids and Optimal Foraging Theory
Environmental Advances, 2022 Determination of how neonicotinoid ingestion affects the foraging behaviour of flower-visiting animals, and using Optimal Foraging Theory to assess the nature and extent of consequent changes to foraging efficiency, provide a novel approach for ...

Foraging Behaviour of Shorebirds
Journal of Ecological Society, 1995 The study examines the foraging behaviour of three species of shorebirds, the Little Stint, Curlew Sandpiper, and Marsh Sandpiper, in the Vedaranyam swamp in India. The peck rate, or the rate at which the birds peck at their food, was observed and recorded for each species.

Exploring the evolution of a trade-off between vigilance and foraging in group-living organisms [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Even though grouping behaviour has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear.

Behavioural thermoregulation linked to foraging in blue sharks [PDF]
Marine Biology, 2021 Large pelagic fishes often dive and surface repeatedly as if they were airbreathers, raising a question about the functions of these movements. Some species (e.g., bigeye tuna, ocean sunfish) apparently alternate foraging in deep cold waters and rewarming in shallow warm waters. However, it is unclear how prevalent this pattern is among species.

Biology, 2022 The endangered yellow-eyed penguin/hoiho (Megadyptes antipodes) predominantly forages benthically within its mainland range and shows high foraging site fidelity.

Integrating multiple technologies to understand the foraging behaviour of Hawaiian monk seals [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The objective of this research was to investigate and describe the foraging behaviour of monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands. Specifically, our goal was to identify a metric to classify foraging behaviour from telemetry instruments.

Sexual Mismatch Between Vessel-Associated Foraging and Discard Consumption in a Marine Top Predator
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Sex differences in diet and foraging behaviour are common in sexually dimorphic species, often driven by differences in the cost of locomotion or ability to exploit different ecological niches.

Eating smart: Free-ranging dogs follow an optimal foraging strategy while scavenging in groups
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Foraging and acquiring of food is a delicate balance between managing the costs (both energy and social) and individual preferences. Previous research on solitarily foraging free-ranging dogs showed that they prioritise the nutritionally highest valued ...

Pandemic-driven consumer behaviour: A foraging exploration
Marketing Theory, 2023 COVID-19 has had a profound effect on consumer behaviour. This conceptual piece uses foraging theory, extending and developing the foraging ecology of consumption model, to examine consumer behaviour in a pandemic. It is argued that a foraging interpretation of consumer behaviour is more relevant in situations where supply is uncertain, risks are ...
