Behavioural ecology at the spatial–social interface
Spatial and social behaviour are fundamental aspects of an animal's biology, and their
social and spatial environments are indelibly linked through mutual causes and shared …

Acetylcholine and noradrenaline enhance foraging optimality in humans
Foraging theory prescribes when optimal foragers should leave the current option for more
rewarding alternatives. Actual foragers often exploit options longer than prescribed by the …

Stochastic dynamics of social patch foraging decisions
Animals typically forage in groups. Social foraging can help animals avoid predation and
decrease their uncertainty about the richness of food resources. Despite this, theoretical …
