Dolphins' uncanny intelligence allows for some creative behavior when it comes to mating, gift-giving, and foraging. Now, researchers have a better idea of how they learn some of their food-finding ...

Honey bee colonies exemplify one of the most sophisticated systems of collective resource acquisition in the animal kingdom. Individual foragers scout for food, evaluate its quality and location, and ...

Fish species respond to temperature increases by going after more readily available prey. Models suggest this behavior could lead to more extinctions. Fish are changing how they search for and consume ...

Spotted hyenas adjust to a decreased presence of migratory prey in their territories induced by climate change. Researchers investigated the relationship between rainfall volume and migratory ...

Foraging dynamics in pollinators encompass the strategies by which bees, butterflies and other flower-visiting insects locate, evaluate and exploit floral resources. Central place foraging theory ...

Genetics control behavioral sequences that are building blocks for complex behavior patterns. Mice scurry around while foraging for food, but genetics may be the unseen hand controlling these ...

Foraging : an overview / Ronald C. Ydenberg, Joel S. Brown and David W. Stephens -- Models of information use / David W. Stephens -- Neuroethology and foraging / David F. Sherry and John B. Mitchell - ...

A new study used modern methods to reassess a foundational study in biology that explained how ecologically similar species of wood warblers coexist. The research team examined foraging behavior, ...
