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.

Task partitioning in insect societies. I. Effect of colony size on queueing delay and colony ergonomic efficiency [PDF]

, 1999
The collection and handling of colony resources such as food, water, and nest construction material is often divided into subtasks in which the material is passed from one worker to another. This is known as task partitioning.

How Plant Toxins Cause Early Larval Mortality in Herbivorous Insects: An Explanation by Modeling the Net Energy Curve

Toxins
Plants store chemical defenses that act as toxins against herbivores, such as toxic isothiocyanates (ITCs) in Brassica plants, hydrolyzed from glucosinolate (GLS) precursors.

Foraging behaviour of Brazilian riverine and coastal fishers: How much is explained by the optimal foraging theory?

Conservation & Society, 2011
Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) is here applied to analyse the foraging behaviour of Brazilian artisanal fishers of the Atlantic coast (Itacuruçá and São Paulo Bagre villages) and of the inland Amazonian region (Jarauá and Ebenezer villages).

Trail complexity and foraged plants for the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in a caatinga area of Bahia

Zoologia (Curitiba)
Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs; Atta, Acromyrmex, and Amoimyrmex) are key herbivores in Neotropical ecosystems, preferentially harvesting leaves from palatable plant species such as pioneers and colonizers.

Polar bears are inefficient predators of seabird eggs

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Climate-mediated sea-ice loss is disrupting the foraging ecology of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) across much of their range. As a result, there have been increased reports of polar bears foraging on seabird eggs across parts of their range.

An evolutionarily stable joining policy for group foragers [PDF]

, 2005
For foragers that exploit patchily distributed resources that are challenging to locate, detecting discoveries made by others with a view to joining them and sharing the patch may often be an attractive tactic, and such behavior has been observed across ...
