Although generalist predators have been reported to forage less efficiently than specialists,
there is little information on the extent to which learning can improve the efficiency of mixed …

This chapter outlines the relationships between a number of key factors that influence
learning and memory, and illustrates them by reference to studies on the foraging behaviour …

Animal behaviour is a composite of innate and learned components. During their lifetimes,
animals typically gain experience and manifest learning, thereby augmenting or modifying …

Manifestation of life‐history strategy is through the allocation of resources acquired by
foraging. Foraging efficiency can be improved by learning, as fishes adjust their behaviour to …

The foraging efficiency of a visually feeding fish, perch (Perca fluviatilis) was studied on two
prey species (Daphnia magna and Chaoborus obscuripus) presented either separately or …

To better understand how and why foraging shifts between habitats and among prey occur,
and to evaluate the ability of an optimal foraging model to predict diet breadth quantitatively …

Diets of silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus, in organically fertilised aquaculture ponds were
dominated by chironomid larvae, Daphnia and calanoid copepods. Insects and crustaceans …

Learning is an adaptation that allows individuals to respond to environmental stimuli in ways
that improve their reproductive outcomes. The degree of sophistication in learning …

We explored the incidence of individual feeding specialisation among a naïve predator (non‐
native rainbow trout postsmolts) and two native experienced predators (sea‐run Arctic charr …

When the expected reward rate is continuously reduced by foraging in a patch, foragers may
adjust their patch persistence times to maximize the average long-term reward rate. The …
