Feeding ecology of a highly aerial bird during its long breeding season

Avian Research, 2023
Pallid Swifts (Apus pallidus), as other swifts, are birds extremely adapted to an aerial lifestyle, showing unique adaptations that allow them to fly almost continuously.

Footprints of information foragers: Behaviour semantics of visual exploration [PDF]

, 2002
Social navigation exploits the knowledge and experience of peer users of information resources. A wide variety of visual–spatial approaches become increasingly popular as a means to optimize information access as well as to foster and sustain a virtual ...

Test of theory of foraging mode: Goldcrests, Regulus regulus, forage by high‐yield, energy‐expensive hovering flight when food is abundant but use low‐yield, low‐cost methods when food is scarce

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Here, I describe foraging behavior of goldcrests, Regulus regulus, based on eight years of field observation in a coniferous forest dominated by Norway spruce Picea abies in southwestern Sweden.

Creative foraging: An experimental paradigm for studying exploration and discovery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Creative exploration is central to science, art and cognitive development. However, research on creative exploration is limited by a lack of high-resolution automated paradigms.

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.

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
