Ecological novelty and the emergence of evolutionary traps
Human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC; eg, climate change or exotic species)
has caused global species declines. Although behavioral plasticity has buffered some …

A holidic medium for Drosophila melanogaster
A critical requirement for research using model organisms is a well-defined and consistent
diet. There is currently no complete chemically defined (holidic) diet available for Drosophila …

Physiology, activity and costs of parental care in birds
TD Williams - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 - journals.biologists.com
Parental care is assumed to be costly in that it requires sustained, high-intensity activity
sufficient to cause costs of reproduction (decreased survival and future fecundity of parents) …

Challenges of learning to escape evolutionary traps
Many animals respond well behaviorally to stimuli associated with human-induced rapid
environmental change (HIREC), such as novel predators or food sources. Yet others make …

Bumblebee flower constancy and pollen diversity over time
Bees often focus their foraging effort on a few or even a single flower species, even if other
equally rewarding flower species are present. Although this phenomenon—called flower …

The social cognition of social foraging: Partner selection by underlying valuation
Humans and other animals have a variety of psychological abilities tailored to the demands
of asocial foraging, that is, foraging without coordination or competition with other …

A model for habitat selection and species distribution derived from central place foraging theory
O Olsson, A Bolin - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
We have developed a habitat selection model based on central place foraging theory. An
individual's decision to include a patch in its habitat depends on the marginal fitness …
