Optimal search behavior and classic foraging theory
Random walk methods and diffusion theory pervaded ecological sciences as methods to analyze and describe animal movement. Consequently, statistical physics was mostly seen as a toolbox rather than as a conceptual framework that could contribute to theory on evolutionary biology and ecology. However, the existence of mechanistic relationships and feedbacks between behavioral processes and statis...
متن کاملThe Hive is Hungry: Exploring Bee Colony Search and Foraging Behavior through Agent-Based Simulation
Despite a lack of high-order communication, honeybee colonies efficiently coordinate search and foraging efforts across a large, dynamic search space. This natural emergent behavior, shaped by nature and evolution, is based on a combination of individual local search strategies, inter-agent communication via “waggle dancing”, and collective behavior. We examine both scouting strategies as varia...
متن کاملComposite random search strategies based on non-directional sensory cues
Many foraging animals find food using composite random search strategies, which consist of intensive and extensive search modes. Models of composite search can generate predictions about how optimal foragers should behave in each search mode, and how they should determine when to switch between search modes. Most of these models assume that foragers use resource encounters to decide when to swi...
متن کاملBiomimicry of Social Foraging Bacteria for Distributed Optimization: Models, Principles, and Emergent Behaviors
In this paper, we explain the social foraging behavior of E. coli and M. xanthus bacteria and develop simulation models based on the principles of foraging theory that view foraging as optimization. This provides us with novel models of their foraging behavior and with new methods for distributed nongradient optimization. Moreover, we show that the models of both species of bacteria exhibit the...
متن کاملAdvancement in Information Foraging Theory
This paper presents the advantages of information foraging theory matched with traditional information retrieval theory and user behavior analysis theory, a search content framework for information foraging theory is described, on a thorough review of the two research branches i.e. the basic concept of information foraging theory and the elementary models of information foraging theory, an exte...
