Foraging Cognition: Reviving the Ecological Intelligence Hypothesis
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2017What are the origins of intelligent behavior? The demands associated with living in complex social groups have been the favored explanation for the evolution of primate cognition in general and human cognition in particular. However, recent comparative research indicates that ecological variation can also shape cognitive abilities.

Ontogeny of Water Snake Foraging Ecology
Ecology, 1982Using an index of relative importance we analyzed the stomach contents of over 300 water snakes (Nerodia spp.). Ontogenetic changes in prey consumption are most striking in Nerodia erythrogaster (number with food in gut = 44) and N. fasciata (N = 72). Prey of these two species changes from fish to frogs as the snakes exceed a snout-vent length of 50 cm.

Historical Ecology Of Makah Subsistence Foraging Patterns
Journal of Ethnobiology, 2008This research explores continuity and change in foraging patterns over time by comparing data from ancient, historic, and contemporary time periods for the Makah Indians, a Pacific Northwest coast tribe. Zooarchaeological evidence from the late-prehistoric Ozette village middens is compared to quantitative data from a foraging harvest survey conducted

Complex social ecology needs complex machineries of foraging
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2019AbstractUncertainty is caused not only by environmental changes, but also by social interference resulting from competition over food resources. Actually, foraging effort is socially facilitated, which, however, does not require incentive control by the dopamine system; Zajonc's “drive” theory is thus questionable.

Ecological cycles, foraging, and other behaviour
2004Abstract The seasonality of bowerbird court establishment, attendance, courtship, mating, nesting, and moult are in large part governed by climate as reflected in the relative availability of food resources critical to sustaining birds through these energetically demanding activities.

The Foraging Ecology of Peruvian Seabirds
The Auk, 1983Abstract Most feeding by seabirds in the Peruvian Coastal Current, an upwelling of high productivity off the west coast of South America, takes place in groups. The major prey is an anchovy (Engraulis ringens), which occurs in large shoals and is exploited mainly by three species: the Peruvian Booby (Sula variegata), Peruvian Brown ...

THE FORAGING ECOLOGY OF FEMALE EMPEROR PENGUINS IN WINTER
Ecological Monographs, 1997The foraging location, diving behavior, dietary composition, and feeding rates of female Emperor Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) from the Auster and Taylor Glacier colonies in Antarctica were investigated during the 1993 austral winter. The study was conducted between late May and early August, when male emperors remain at the colonies to incubate eggs
