ABSTRACT 1 Trade‐off theory has been extensively used to further our understanding of
animal behaviour. In mammalian herbivores, it has been used to advance our …

Nematode infections are an important economic constraint to cattle farming. Future risk
levels and transmission dynamics will be affected by changes in climate and farm …

Control over the quantity and quality of food ingested by grazing ruminants in temperate
pasture systems remains elusive. This is due in part to the foraging choices that animals …

The study described in this paper developed a model of animal movement, which explicitly
recognised each individual as the central unit of measure. The model was developed by …

Parasitic nematodes represent one of the most pervasive and significant challenges to
grazing livestock, and their intensity and distribution are strongly influenced by climate …

Parasitic helminths present one of the most pervasive challenges to grazing herbivores.
Many macro-parasite transmission models focus on host physiological defence strategies …

Optimal foraging theory concerns animal behavior in landscapes where food is concentrated
in patches. The efficiency of foraging is an effect of both the animal behavior and the …

The spatial distribution of individual animals may both cause and be caused by intra‐and/or
interspecific interactions. This work aims primarily on effects of intraspecific interactions …

Fast growth of the human population puts high pressure on pasture habitats due to
increasingly high grazing intensities on shrinking grazing land. Adapted herbivore …

The field of applied animal behaviour science has seen significant changes since David
Wood-Gush and others began to study the behaviour of domesticated animals in the 1950s …
