Background Our evolutionary history is defined, in part, by our ability to survive times of
nutrient scarcity. The outcomes of the metabolic and behavioural adaptations during …

Humans have two features rare in mammals: our locomotor muscles are dominated by
fatigue-resistant fibres and we effectively dissipate through sweating the metabolic heat …

Fine‐scale predator movements may be driven by many factors including sex, habitat and
distribution of resources. There may also be individual preferences for certain movement …

Animal movement and resource use are tightly linked. Investigating these links to
understand how animals use space and select habitats is especially relevant in areas …

We develop a method of analysis for testing the marginal value theorem (MVT) in natural
settings that does not require an independent definition or map** of patches. We draw on …

Efficient foraging depends on decisions that account for the costs and benefits of various
activities like movement, perception, and planning. We conducted a virtual foraging …

We analyze a new ethnographic and ethnohistoric database of quantitative cases (n= 139)
and qualitative information on a neglected form of forager subsistence—communal drive …

Climate warming and species traits interact to influence predator performance, including
individual feeding and growth rates. However, the effects of an important trait—predator …

BACKGROUND Predation plays a pivotal role in the composition and functioning of
ecosystems. Both habitat complexity and predator density are important contexts which may …

The alternative prey hypothesis supposes that predators supported by a primary prey
species will shift to consume alternative prey during a decrease in primary prey abundance …
