A foraging guild of birds, composed of ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarensis), herring gulls (L. argentatus), great black-backed gulls(L. marinus), American crows ( Corvus brachyrhynchos), fish crows (C. ossifragus), European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris), turkey vultures ( Catha…
Foraging has important fitness consequences and is central to an understanding of animal ecology. In this study, squirrel foraging is examined in the context of caching behavior, urbanization, food preference and predatory risk. The study animals were two species of North Americ…
A current problem in anthropological studies concerns the economies of rain forest peoples and their prehistoric ancestors. Ethnographic studies in various regions of the world suggest that long-term habitation through foraging in tropical rain forest is not sustainable due to a…
Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviours. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modelling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impracti…
