Search Strategies of Foraging Animals

Of all the activities in which animals engage, perhaps the most important are finding and consuming food. In addition to its urgency at the individual level, foraging? in the broad sense of predator-prey interactions?is cru? cial to ecosystem processes at many levels. In a very real sense, the biosphere runs on the consumption of one organism by another. Fabre has succinctly noted (1913) that "from the least to the greatest in the zoological progression, the stomach sways the world; the data supplied by food are chief among all the documents of life."
