Decision ecology: foraging and the ecology of animal decision making.
In this article, I review the approach taken by behavioral ecologists to the study of animal foraging behavior and explore connections with general analyses of decision making. I use the example of patch exploitation decisions in this article in order to develop several key points about the properties of naturally occurring foraging decisions. First, I argue that experimental preparations based...
متن کاملA Cognitively Realistic Model of Decision Making in Ocean Ecology
There is strong evidence that a key determinant of the ecological state of the world’s oceans is the decision-making of fishers and policy-makers.
