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 ...

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 ...

Non-L\'evy mobility patterns of Mexican Me'Phaa peasants searching for fuelwood [PDF]
, 2012 We measured mobility patterns that describe walking trajectories of individual Me'Phaa peasants searching and collecting fuelwood in the forests of "La Monta\~na de Guerrero" in Mexico.

Urban foraging : individual variation in inner-city graffiti writers' target preferences and specialization [PDF]
, 2020 Objectives: Drawing upon optimal foraging theory, we examine graffiti writers’ individual target preferences to establish the diversity in their target choices (henceforth called “target specialization”).

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.
