Stochastic optimal foraging: tuning intensive and extensive dynamics in random searches. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Recent theoretical developments had laid down the proper mathematical means to understand how the structural complexity of search patterns may improve foraging efficiency.

A reward self-bias leads to more optimal foraging for ourselves than others [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPeople are self-biased for rewards. We place a higher value on rewards if we receive them than if other people do. However, existing work has ignored one of the most powerful theorems from behavioural ecology of how animals seek resources in everyday ...

Stochastic Optimal Foraging Theory
, 2013 30 páginas We present here the core elements of a stochastic optimal foraging theory (SOFT), essentially, a random search theory for ecologists. SOFT complements classic optimal foraging theory (OFT) in that it assumes fully uninformed searchers in an explicit space.

A Hypothetical Modelling and Experimental Design for Measuring Foraging Strategies of Animals
Journal of Intelligence, 2022 Based on animal long-term and short-term memory radial foraging techniques (or LMRFT and SMRFT), we devise a modelling approach that could capture the foraging behaviours of animals.

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 ...

Energetic consequences of prey type in little penguins (Eudyptula minor)
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Investigation of foraging decisions can help understand how animals efficiently gather and exploit food. Prey chase and handling times are important aspects of foraging efficiency, influencing the net energy gain derived from a prey item.
