Abstract

Foraging is a ubiquitous behavior performed by all animals and human beings as they search for food needed to survive. Foraging theory has been key to understanding a variety of model systems but it still lacks mechanistic insights that relate it to neurobiological and other physiological mechanisms. In this talk, I will present work that aims to develop a quantitative mechanistic framework of foraging with a specific focus on patch foraging either of an individual agent or in a social context. I will also present a learning model that accounts for how agents learn the structure of the environment
