Abstract: Quantifying individual specialization and other forms of intraspecific ecological diversity can reveal variation that is critical for evolutionary or behavioral adaption of a species to changing environments. Here, the isotopic niche and degree of individual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-020-01181-7
Abstract: Honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) forage by using their sense of smell and returning to floral odours that they have previously learned to associate with high-quality food rewards. Foraging bees communicate with other bees… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12651
Abstract: An individual's foraging behaviour and time allocated to feeding have direct consequences for its fitness. Despite much research on population-level foraging decisions, few studies have investigated individual differences in fine-scale daily foraging patterns among wild… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12933
Abstract: Abstract Individual foraging specialisation has important ecological implications, but its causes in group‐living species are unclear. One of the major consequences of group living is increased intragroup competition for resources. Foraging theory predicts that with… read more here.
