The allometric scaling of metabolic rate and what drives it are major questions in biology
with a long history. Since the metabolic rate at any level of biological organization is an …

Senescence, the decline in physiological and behavioral function with increasing age, has
been the focus of significant theoretical and empirical research in a broad array of animal …

Urbanization and agricultural intensification continue to reshape landscapes, altering the
habitat available to wildlife and threatening species of both economic and conservation …

Highlights•The honey bee waggle dance enables recruitment to smaller foraging
areas.•Colonies unable to communicate dance information foraged further from their …

Honeybees use the waggle dance to share information about food-site locations with
nestmates. However, the importance of this behavior in colony foraging success remains …

Seabirds forage in a highly dynamic environment and prey on fish schools that are patchily
distributed. Colonially breeding seabirds regularly commute back and forth from their colony …

Density‐dependent competition for food resources influences both foraging ecology and
reproduction in a variety of animals. The relationship between colony size, local prey …

Aim Anticipating the ultimate fraction of a landscape that might be susceptible to invasion is
challenging as several species are able to expand the range of environmental conditions …

Waggle dancing bees provide nestmates with spatial information about high quality
resources. Surprisingly, attempts to quantify the benefits of this encoded spatial information …

Here we explore how waggle dance decoding may be applied as a tool for ecology by
evaluating the benefits and limitations of the methodology compared to other existing ways …
