On Optimal Tempered Lévy Flight Foraging
Frontiers in Physics, 2018 Optimal random foraging strategy has gained increasing concentrations. It is shown that Lévy flight is more efficient compared with the Brownian motion when the targets are sparse.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) visit Disko Bay, West Greenland in winter and early spring to feed on Calanus spp., at a time of year when the copepods are still mostly in diapause and concentrated in near-bottom patches.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 In a laboratory experiment, we investigated the preference of larvae and adults of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for three aphid species: two essential prey, Acyrthosiphon pisum and Aphis philadelphi, and a toxic prey Aphis ...

Sociobiology, 2021 Dinoponera lucida is a poneromorph ant endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. The species is classified as endangered in Brazil’s Red List due to its peculiar reproductive biology and high habitat fragmentation. Herein, we characterize D.

Fine-scale foraging ecology of leatherback turtles
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Remote tracking of migratory species and statistical modeling of behaviors have enabled identification of areas that are of high ecological value to these widely distributed taxa.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Recolonization of predators to their former ranges is becoming increasingly prevalent. Such recolonization places predators among their prey once again; the latter having lived without predation (from such predators) for a considerable time. This renewed

The Adaptive Significance of Flash Behavior: A Bayesian Model
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Some cryptic animals have conspicuous color patches that are displayed when they move. This “flash behavior” may serve several functions, but perhaps the most widely invoked explanation is that the display makes it harder for the signaler to be found by ...

Diversity, 2020 Although dispersal is critical to plant life history, the relationships between seed traits and dispersal success in animal-dispersed plants remain unclear due to complex interactions among the effects of seed traits, habitat structure, and disperser ...

New Caledonian crows keep ‘valuable’ hooked tools safer than basic non-hooked tools
eLife, 2021 The temporary storage and re-use of tools can significantly enhance foraging efficiency. New Caledonian crows in one of our study populations use two types of stick tools – hooked and non-hooked – which differ in raw material, manufacture costs, and ...

Adaptive Bacterial Foraging Optimization
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2011 Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is a recently developed nature‐inspired optimization algorithm, which is based on the foraging behavior ofE. colibacteria. Up to now, BFO has been applied successfully to some engineering problems due to its simplicity and ease of implementation.
