DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3451-7
Abstract: Divergent foraging strategies may emerge within a population due to a combination of physiological and environmental factors; yet to persist, neither strategy should offer a consistent selective advantage over the alternative in the long term.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10745-018-0016-9
Abstract: Ecological models derived from Optimal Foraging Theory have been used to understand the decision-making processes and optimization of artisanal fisheries. However, many studies do not consider the influence of fishing techniques or seasonality on foraging… read more here.

Variation in foraging strategies over a large spatial scale reduces parent–offspring conflict in Manx shearwaters

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.03.014
Abstract: Parental care can lead to a conflict of interest between parents and offspring. For central place foragers, conflict is expected to be particularly intensive in species that feed on relatively inaccessible, distant food resources. Some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182017001317
Abstract: SUMMARY In laboratory experiments, we investigated how media with varying ratio of peat:sand and two levels of compaction influence dispersal success of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species with different foraging strategies: Steinernema carpocapsae (ambusher), Heterorhabditis downesi… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.13059
Abstract: Microbe-mediated enzymatic hydrolysis of organic matter entails the production of hydrolysate, the recovery of which may be more or less efficient. The selfish uptake mechanism, recently discovered, allows microbes to hydrolyze polysaccharides and take up… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209596
Abstract: In ant communities, species coexist by using different foraging strategies. We developed an adaptive dynamics model to gain a better understanding of the factors that promote the emergence and maintenance of strategy diversity. We analysed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/esr00934
Abstract: Determining the foraging strategies for top marine predators is fundamental to understanding their role in the marine ecosystem and essential to gain insight into how species and populations may respond to environmental variability and human… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.73948
Abstract: Microbial foraging in patchy environments, where resources are fragmented into particles or pockets embedded in a large matrix, plays a key role in natural environments. In the oceans and freshwater systems, particle-associated bacteria can interact… read more here.
