Random foraging and perceived randomness

Abstract Research in evolutionary ecology on random foraging seems to ignore the possibility that some is an adaptation not environmental randomness, but what Wimsatt called “perceived randomness”. This occurs when features are unpredictable, whether physically or not. Mere perceived randomness may occur, for example, due effects of climate change certain kinds static landscape variation. I argue important mathematical model concerning doesn’t depend despite contrary remarks by researchers. use computer simulations illustrate idea mere randomness.
