Food-caching animals can gain nutritional advantages by buffering seasonality in food
availability, especially during times of scarcity. The wolverine (Gulo gulo) is a facultative …

We consider a class of zero-sum search games in which a Searcher seeks to minimize the
expected time to find several objects hidden by a Hider. We begin by analyzing a game in …

Past studies have revealed the benefits of rodent participation in the colonization process of
oak species. Certain rodent species (Apodemus sylvaticus and Mus spretus) partially …

Animals use memory-guided and memory-independent strategies to make navigational
decisions. Disentangling the contribution of these strategies to navigation is critical for …

We consider a variant of the hide-and-seek game in which a seeker inspects multiple hiding
locations to find multiple items hidden by a hider. Each hiding location has a maximum …

We study the general setting of weighted search in which a number of weighted targets are
hidden in a star-like environment, and a mobile searcher must locate a subset of targets with …

Food-hoarding patterns range between larder hoarding (a few large caches) and scatter
hoarding (many small caches), and are, in essence, the outcome of a hoard size–number …

When being searched for and then (if found) pursued by a predator, a prey animal has a
choice between choosing very randomly among hiding locations so as to be hard to find or …

In this article, we investigate a generalized two‐player inspection game between an attacker
and a defender who allocates multiple resources across a critical system. Specifically, the …

When the spatial density of both prey and predators is very low, the problem they face may
be modelled as a two-person game (called a 'search game') between one member of each …
