Food-storing animals hide food in times of abundance and rely on memory to recover those
caches several days if not months later when supplies are scarce. This review focuses on …

The mechanisms by which food-hoarding animals are capable of remembering the locations
of numerous cached food items over long time spans has been the focus of intensive …

Food-hoarding animals employ a variety of tactics to minimize the loss of caches to pilferers.
It remains unclear, however, how these responses are affected by complete pilferage events …

Scatter-hoarding animals transport food away from its source before storing it to maximize
the likelihood that the cache will survive for use at a later time. However, the more time …

We quantified cache spacing patterns, cache retrieval rates and rates of cache theft in New
Zealand robins, Petroica australis. In a field experiment we presented wild birds with a …

Eastern grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have been introduced to numerous locations
around the globe and are considered to be one of the world's worst invasive species. The …

The reciprocal pilferage hypothesis argues that, despite the occurrence of pilferage, scatter-
hoarding behaviour could evolve if cache loss is compensated by gains pilfered from others …

We used the giving-up density (GUD) method and direct observation to study the combined
effects of travel distance and microhabitat on foraging behavior of the midday gerbil …

Food hoarding behavior of sympatric conspecific rodents has been extensively documented
during the last decades, while research concerning the influence of intra-and inter-specific …

The western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus) was classified as a Washington State threatened
species by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1993 due to a decline in …
