Stochasticity in foraging theory: risk and information

Stochasticity in foraging theory: risk and information

<p>This thesis considers the importance of adding stochasticity to models of optimal foraging behaviour. The problem is divided into two elements, risk and information, which are treated separately.</p><p>Part One: Risk. The theoretical and empirical results concerning animal prefe...
