    Foraging strategy must provide the most benefit for the lowest cost – it is a balance between nutritional value and energy required. The currency of optimal foraging theory is energy because it is an essential component for organisms, but it is also the downfall of optimal foraging theory in regard to archaeology. [26]

[2] The reservation was first established in 1875 by Executive ...

  5. Ideal free distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_free_distribution

    As an optimal foraging model, the Ideal Free Distribution predicts that the ratio of individuals between two foraging sites will match the ratio of resources in those two sites. This prediction is similar to the Matching Law of individual choice, which states that an individual's rate of response will be proportional to the positive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_switching

    [6] [7] It has been argued that frequency-dependent predation is predicted from optimal foraging theory. [8] In particular the contingency model predicts that in some circumstances the most profitable resource should be eaten at the expense of the less profitable resources, and that this decision is based on the absolute density of the most ...

  9. Evolutionary models of food sharing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_models_of...

    Bruce Winterhalder [16] incorporates food-sharing among groups into the diet breadth model derived from optimal foraging theory as a means to reduce risk. Risk is measured in this model as a measure of the probability that a forager's net acquisition rate (NAR) falls below a minimum value, such as a threshold for starvation.
