The emergence of leaders and followers in foraging pairs when the qualities of individuals differ [PDF]
, 2008 Background Foraging in groups offers animals a number of advantages, such as increasing their likelihood of finding food or detecting and avoiding predators.

Scaling of the risk landscape drives optimal life history strategies and the evolution of grazing [PDF]
, 2019 Consumers face numerous risks that can be minimized by incorporating different life-history strategies. How much and when a consumer adds to its energetic reserves or invests in reproduction are key behavioral and physiological adaptations that structure

Phototaxic foraging of the archaepaddler, a hypothetical deep-sea species [PDF]
, 1998 An autonomous agent (animat, hypothetical animal), called the (archae) paddler, is simulated in sufficient detail to regard its simulated aquatic locomotion (paddling) as physically possible. The paddler is supposed to be a model of an animal that might

Developmental Science, 2020 Adolescence is a period of heightened exploration relative to adulthood and childhood. This predisposition has been linked with negative behaviours related to risk-taking, including dangerous driving, substance misuse and risky sexual practices. However,

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 ...

Optimal-foraging predator favors commensalistic Batesian mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Mimicry, in which one prey species (the Mimic) imitates the aposematic signals of another prey (the Model) to deceive their predators, has attracted the general interest of evolutionary biologists.

Why do many animals move with a predominance of roughly forward directions? [PDF]
, 2010 Animal movements can influence their ecology and demographics. Animal movements are often characterized by path structures with directional persistence.
