Gazing at Social Interactions Between Foraging and Decision Theory

Social Interactions: Theory and Empirics

Breeding chronology and social interactions affect ungulate foraging behavior at a concentrated food resource

Prey species must balance predator avoidance behavior with other essential activities including foraging, breeding, and social interactions. Anti-predator behaviors such as vigilance can impede resource acquisition rates by altering foraging behavior. However, in addition to predation risk, foraging behavior may also be affected by socio-sexual factors including breeding chronology and social i...

the relationship between language and social capital in ilami kurdish: a sociopragmatic approach

چکیده زبان به عنوان یک وسیله در ایجاد و بازسازی سرمایه اجتماعی در چند دهه گذشته مورد توجه بوده است. اگر چه درباره سرمایه اجتماعی و سازه های مربوط به آن زیاد نوشته شده است ولی خیلی کم بر روی اینکه چطور زبان می تواند باعث ایجاد اعتماد یا بی اعتمادی بشود مطالعه ای انجام شده است. این مطالعه به منظور تحقق دو هدف انجام گرفته است. اول تلاش خواهد شد تا یک گونه شناسی از واژگانی که مردم کرد زبان شهر ا...

Foraging Theory for Autonomous Vehicle Decision-making System Design

Foraging theory is typically used to model animal decision making. We describe an agent such as an autonomous vehicle or software module as a forager searching for tasks. The prey model is used to predict which types of tasks an agent should choose to maximize its rate of reward, and the patch model is used to predict when an agent should leave a patch of tasks and how to choose withinpatch sea...

Determinants and Outcomes of Decision-Making, Group Coordination and Social Interactions during a Foraging Experiment in a Wild Primate

Social animals have to coordinate joint movements to maintain group cohesion, but the latter is often compromised by diverging individual interests. A widespread behavioral mechanism to achieve coordination relies on shared or unshared consensus decision-making. If consensus costs are high, group fission represents an alternative tactic. Exploring determinants and outcomes of spontaneous group ...
