Feeding strategies and associated cognitive capacities among Plio-Pleistocene hominins: toward new perspectives using the ventromedial prefrontal cortex by Margot Louail

“…Feeding and foraging behaviors can exert selective pressures among heterotrophic organisms that lead to morphological, physiological, and/or behavioral adaptations. …”

The challenges of independence: ontogeny of at-sea behaviour in a long-lived seabird by Delord, Karine, Weimerskirch, Henri, Barbraud, Christophe

“…The transition to independent foraging represents an important developmental stage in the life cycle of most vertebrate animals. …”

Urban Infestation Patterns of Argentine Ants, Linepithema humile, in Los Angeles by Smadar Gilboa, John H. Klotz, Peter Nonacs

“…Infestations of buildings by Argentine ants, Linepithema humile (Mayr), were monitored on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles. Foraging ant activity peaked during the hotter months of the year. …”

Visual and Chemical Prey Cues as Complementary Predator Attractants in a Tropical Stream Fish Assemblage by Chris K. Elvidge, Grant E. Brown

“…The relative attractiveness of cue type to each predator was directly related to their primary foraging modes, with visual ambush predators demonstrating an attraction to visual cues, benthivores to chemical cues, and active social foragers demonstrating complementary responses to paired cues. …”

Density-Dependent Habitat Selection in a Growing Threespine Stickleback Population by Ulrika Candolin, Marita Selin

“…However, an increased density of conspecifics relaxed the predator-enhanced preference for the complex habitat and increased the use of the open, more predator-exposed habitat. Foraging rate was reduced under increased perceived predation risk. …”

Figs Are More Than Fallback Foods: The Relationship between Ficus and Cebus in a Tropical Dry Forest by Nigel A. Parr, Amanda D. Melin, Linda Marie Fedigan

Prediction of Concrete Compressive Strength Based on the BP Neural Network Optimized by Random Forest and ISSA by Gang Chen, Donglin Zhu, Xiao Wang, Changjun Zhou, Xiangyu Chen

“…In terms of algorithm improvement, three improvements are proposed for SSA: Latin hypercube sampling is introduced to initialize the location of sparrows and increase the diversity of sparrows; the somersault foraging strategy is used to enrich the optimal position of producers; and combining with the cyclone foraging mechanism, the position updating process of the scroungers is optimized to obtain a better foraging position. …”

Sequential Load Transport in Grass-Cutting Ants (Atta vollenweideri): Maximization of Plant Delivery Rate or Improved Information Transfer? by Jacqueline Röschard, Flavio Roces

“…Alternatively, the “information-transfer hypothesis" states that sequential transport improves the information flow during foraging. By transferring its load, a worker may return earlier to the foraging site so as to intensify chemical recruitment. …”

Effect of touristic activities on seabirds’ habitat selection on sandy beaches by Costa Leonardo, Rangel Danilo Freitas, Zalmon Ilana

“…In general, seabirds select areas with a higher availability of prey, but human disturbances can modify their spatial and temporal foraging patterns in urban coastal ecosystems. Here we tested the hypothesis that human activities prevent seabirds foraging on beach sectors that are impacted by urbanization and recreational activities. …”

Hungry wintering birds and angry farmers: Crop damage and management implications in a protected wetland in China by Lanyan Zhong, Yanfang Li, Yalong Li, Chuanyin Dai

“…The farmers had negative attitudes toward the problematic species and a low tolerance for crop-foraging activity. Both traits were affected by measurable factors related to crop loss. …”

Ecological Drivers of Molt‐Breeding Overlap, an Unusual Life‐History Strategy of Small‐Island Birds? by Christopher C. De Ruyck, Nicola Koper

“…ABSTRACT Terrestrial bird populations on small, species depauperate islands often experience selection for generalist foraging traits via ecological release; however, it is unclear how island conditions may uniquely influence other life‐history characteristics of small‐island birds, such as the unusually high rates of molt‐breeding overlap exhibited on the island of Grenada. …”
