Increasing the costs of conspecific scanning in socially foraging starlings affects vigilance and foraging behaviour
Social foragers receive and use information both about companions (social information) and about events external to the group, such as presence of potential predators. Scanning behaviour is often incorporated in theoretical models using simplifying assumptions in relation to the trade-off in informa...
