Optimal Foraging Theory

Encyclopedia of Social Insects, 2020
All of life forages for resources that are needed for survival, development, and reproduction. Optimal foraging theory (OFT) aims to understand foraging behavior by hypothesizing that animals forage...

Nutritional ecology and foraging theory

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2018
Historically, two fields of research have developed theory around foraging and feeding that have influenced biology more broadly, optimal foraging theory and nutritional ecology. While these fields have developed largely in parallel, they are complementary with each offering particular strengths.

Social Foraging Theory

2000
Although there is extensive literature in the field of behavioral ecology that attempts to explain foraging of individuals, social foraging--the ways in which animals search and compete for food in groups--has been relatively neglected. This book redresses that situation by providing both a synthesis of the existing literature and a new theory of ...

Optimal Foraging Theory: An Introduction

Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior, 2019
Animals require food for their survival and reproductive success. A wide range of foraging behaviors has been predicted by optimal foraging theory, explaining that animals behave in ways that maximize net energy gain.

Optimal Foraging Theory: A Critical Review

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1984
Proponents of optimal foraging theory attempt to predict the behavior of animals while they are foraging; this theory is based on a number of assump­ tions ( 133 , 155 , 2 10, 23 1 ) . First, an individual's contribution to the next generation (i.e. its "fitness") depends on its behavior while foraging.

Towards a Unifield Foraging Theory

Ecology, 1986
In the broadest sense, foraging adaptations can include problems of finding food, avoid- ing predation while looking for food, and reproducing. In this paper, a theory that treats these three behaviors in a consistent, unified manner, with one common currency, is presented.

Foraging arena theory

Fish and Fisheries, 2011
AbstractThere is a critical need for quantitative models that can help evaluate trade‐off decisions related to the impacts of harvesting and protection of aquatic ecosystems within an ecosystem context. Ecosystem models used to evaluate such trade‐offs need to have the capability of capturing the dynamic stability that can arise when predator‐prey ...
