A new tool enables measuring feeding and locomotion simultaneously which will enable insights into environmental, developmental, neuronal, and genetic factors underlying behavioral regulation.

Distinct interoceptive and gustatory bacterial food cues converge to control neuroendocrine gene expression in two neurons, which modulates and is correlated with internal states driving feeding versus foraging behavior.

The larvae of the western corn rootworm use root-emitted CO₂ to successfully locate the most suitable host plant.

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.

Worms' attraction to pheromones turns into repulsion when a food patch is depleted, helping them avoid already exploited territories and search for new food sources.

Circuit-wide calcium imaging during C. elegans foraging elucidates the functional architecture of a neural circuit controlling the choice between two alternative behavioral states.

Analysis and modeling of group behavior of adult zebrafish shows that a specialized social interaction mechanism increases foraging efficiency and equality within groups, under a variety of environmental conditions.

A quantitative trait locus that includes two pheromone receptor genes affects foraging behavior; for one of the genes, the two alleles of the QTL have opposite effects because of distinct sites of expression.

Drosophila larvae foraging adapt to different food quality and distributions modulating specific motor programs, as revealed by behavioral and modeling experiments.

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.
