Greater mouse-eared bats prefer to hunt large ground insects despite high failure rates, but switch to smaller, easily caught flying insects in response to environmental changes.

In both foraging and intertemporal choice tasks, rats prefer immediate rewards to delayed rewards, and this preference can be explained by a form of hyperbolic discounting.

C. elegans foraging efficiently approximate maximally informative search strategies that involve abrupt switching between different types of behaviors.
A new tool enables measuring feeding and locomotion simultaneously which will enable insights into environmental, developmental, neuronal, and genetic factors underlying behavioral regulation.
When the acquisition of reward becomes effortful, marmosets choose to work longer, delaying their harvest, but slow their movements, reducing energy consumption.
A long-term arousal state is linked to the acute decision to leave a food patch by sensory neurons that integrate neuromodulatory information, food intake, and environmental signals.
Small changes to the way COVID-19 vaccine side-effect rates are framed and communicated have meaningful impacts on individuals' vaccination intentions.
