Diet and Territory Size of Butterflyfish in Habitats with Varying Coral Cover and Composition [PDF]

, 2001
Given the highly stochastic nature of larval supply, coral reef fish may often settle in sub-optimal habitats with limited prey. This study examines the foraging and territorial habits of a coral feeding butterflyfish, Chaetodon baronessa, living in two ...

Unravelling the decision making of foraging vultures: insights from a field experiment

Royal Society Open Science
Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) integrates both the consumer and the resource, yet their simultaneous assessment is uncommon. Vultures represent an ideal model for OFT studies because carrion requires no capture effort and minimal handling, allowing them ...

Foraging in a non-foraging task: Fitness maximization explains human risk preference dynamics under changing environment.

PLoS Computational Biology
Changes in risk preference have been reported when making a series of independent risky choices or non-foraging economic decisions. Behavioral economics has put forward various explanations for specific changes in risk preference in non-foraging tasks ...
