    Combining radio-telemetry and radar measurements to test optimal foraging in an aerial insectivore bird

    Itai Bloch, David Troupin ... Nir Sapir
    Little Swifts dynamically adjust their foraging behavior to aerial insect abundance, revealing key insights into predator–prey interactions and optimal foraging strategies in aerial environments.

    Inversion of pheromone preference optimizes foraging in C. elegans

    Martina Dal Bello, Alfonso Pérez-Escudero ... Jeff Gore
    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.

    Tuning movement for sensing in an uncertain world

    Chen Chen, Todd D Murphey, Malcolm A MacIver
    Animals work in a world full of surprises, where using energy to position sensors proportional to the location's expected information avoids the pitfalls of positioning them at the information maxima.

    Rats exhibit similar biases in foraging and intertemporal choice tasks

    Gary A Kane, Aaron M Bornstein ... Jonathan D Cohen
    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.

    Particle foraging strategies promote microbial diversity in marine environments

    Ali Ebrahimi, Akshit Goyal, Otto X Cordero
    An ecological trade-off between growth and death enables microbes with different dispersal strategies to coexist on particulate matter in the oceans.

    A small number of workers with specific personality traits perform tool use in ants

    István Maák, Garyk Roelandt, Patrizia d'Ettorre
    The likelihood to perform tool use during foraging is linked to personality traits in ants, suggesting an original interplay between consistent inter-individual variability and division of labor in social species.

    Maximally informative foraging by Caenorhabditis elegans

    Adam J Calhoun, Sreekanth H Chalasani, Tatyana O Sharpee
    C. elegans foraging efficiently approximate maximally informative search strategies that involve abrupt switching between different types of behaviors.

    Adaptation of Drosophila larva foraging in response to changes in food resources

    Marina E Wosniack, Dylan Festa ... Jimena Berni
    Drosophila larvae foraging adapt to different food quality and distributions modulating specific motor programs, as revealed by behavioral and modeling experiments.

    Ciliary transcription factors and miRNAs precisely regulate Cp110 levels required for ciliary adhesions and ciliogenesis

    Peter Walentek, Ian K Quigley ... Richard M Harland
    At optimal concentrations, the ciliary inhibitor Cp110 promotes ciliogenesis by localization to previously uncharacterized sites at the basal body, where it recruits ciliary adhesion complexes that mediate basal body interaction with F-actin networks.

    Zebrafish airinemes optimize their shape between ballistic and diffusive search

    Sohyeon Park, Hyunjoong Kim ... Jun Allard
    Mathematical characterization of the shape of cellular protrusions that form cell–cell contacts in tissues reveals the parameters required for optimizing biological functional objectives, like maximizing cell–cell contact and communicating directional information.
