Predator discrimination of prey promotes the predator-mediated coexistence of prey species
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The predator discrimination of prey can affect predation intensity and the prey density dependence of predators, which has the potential to alter the coexistence of prey species.

eLife, 2023 Ant colonies regulate foraging in response to their collective hunger, yet the mechanism behind this distributed regulation remains unclear. Previously, by imaging food flow within ant colonies we showed that the frequency of foraging events declines ...

Using optimal foraging theory to infer how groups make collective decisions.
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Studying animal behavior as collective phenomena is a powerful tool for understanding social processes, including group coordination and decision-making.

Biology Open, 2022 The morphological characteristics that impact feeding ecology in ectotherms, particularly reptiles, are poorly understood. We used morphometric measures and stable isotope analysis (carbon-13 and nitrogen-15) to assess the link between diet and ...

Using Gaze for Behavioural Biometrics
Sensors, 2023 A principled approach to the analysis of eye movements for behavioural biometrics is laid down. The approach grounds in foraging theory, which provides a sound basis to capture the uniqueness of individual eye movement behaviour.

Effort cost of harvest affects decisions and movement vigor of marmosets during foraging
eLife, 2023 Our decisions are guided by how we perceive the value of an option, but this evaluation also affects how we move to acquire that option. Why should economic variables such as reward and effort alter the vigor of our movements?

Group foraging increases foraging efficiency in a piscivorous diver, the African penguin [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Marine piscivores have evolved a variety of morphological and behavioural adaptations, including group foraging, to optimize foraging efficiency when targeting shoaling fish.

Biological Intelligence Inspired Trajectory Design for Energy Harvesting UAV Networks
Sensors, 2023 In this paper, the problem of trajectory design for energy harvesting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is studied. In the considered model, the UAV acts as a moving base station to serve the ground users, while collecting energy from the charging stations

Appetitive information seeking behaviour reveals robust daily rhythmicity for Internet-based food-related keyword searches [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 There has been an exponential growth of information seeking behaviour (ISB) via Internet-based programs over the past decade. The availability of software that record ISB temporal patterns has provided a valuable opportunity to examine biological rhythms
