In both recruitment experiments, as there were no Acc dancers from the feeders, Acc foragers could only obtain the relevant foraging information from Aml foragers by decoding their dance language.
From the viewpoint that the MBs function as an integrator of multimodal sensory information, the present results corroborate earlier assumptions that more than mere sensory processing, like integration of foraging information, occurs in the MBs of the foragers.
Ward and Zahavi [11] first suggested that communal roosts (and nests) have evolved to facilitate the exchange of foraging information.
Repeated social interactions will clearly have an influence on the evolution of strategies for the gathering and sharing of foraging information, as well as the collective defense of food bonanzas.
The result is that we're now accustomed to foraging for information in haphazard loops on our computer and phone screens, rather than consuming it in the straight-lined logic of print.
While foraging for information about Dad, all I've come to understand is how little I understand, to know how little I know.
We hypothesize that an important reason for male and female tropical bats to form long term aggregations is to profit from more efficient foraging via information transfer, postulated previously as a reason for sociality in males of narrow-winged temperate-zone species [2].
To elucidate the factors influencing hyperphagia, future work should examine interactions between current energetic state and reserves, dietary quality and developmental history on foraging and information gathering.
The predicted trade-off between foraging and information gathering was present for ADV birds but not for DIS birds, as indicated by a negative relationship between trial consumption and the time spent on CFL for ADV birds only (Fig. 5, Appendix Table A1, Model 9).
