Optimal Foraging Theory: A Critical Review
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 1984Proponents of optimal foraging theory attempt to predict the behavior of animals while they are foraging; this theory is based on a number of assump tions ( 133 , 155 , 2 10, 23 1 ) . First, an individual's contribution to the next generation (i.e. its "fitness") depends on its behavior while foraging.

Integrating optimal foraging and optimal oviposition theory in plant-insect research
Oikos, 2002The current approach for studying host selection by phytophagous insects is mainly based on optimal oviposition theory, i.e. the preference–performance hypothesis. Almost no attention has been given to optimal foraging theory. However, recent papers and additional evidence given in this work illustrate that also optimal foraging may shape host ...

Photography and Exploration of Tourist Locations Based on Optimal Foraging Theory
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, 2019Animals search for food in their environment with a decision strategy which keeps them fit. Optimal foraging theory models this foraging behavior to determine the optimal decision strategy followed by animals. This theory has been successfully applied for humans as they search for information and is termed as information foraging.

Stoichiometric theory in optimal foraging strategy
Journal of Mathematical BiologyUnderstanding how organisms make choices about what to eat is a fascinating puzzle explored in this study, which employs stoichiometric modeling and optimal foraging principles. The research delves into the intricate balance of nutrient intake with foraging strategies, investigating quality and quantity-based food selection through mathematical models.

Honeyeater foraging: A test of optimal foraging theory
Animal Behaviour, 1981Abstract Honeyeaters (Meliphagidae) were observed foraging for nectar from Lambertia formosa inflorescences, each of which has seven flowers. The frequency distribution of numbers of flowers probed per visit to an inflorescence was found to be bimodal, with one peak at two and the other at seven.
