Hughes, R.
Diet Selection: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Foraging Behaviour
Optimal foraging theory has brought the study of foraging behaviour, particularly diet selection to a point where physiological, nutritional, psychological, morphological and ecological factors can begin to be addressed in a coherent fashion. This book is not another exposition of optimal foraging theory, but it does draw on the applications and limitations of the theory to demonstrate the great potential for the development of diet selection as an interdisciplinary subject.
- Authoritative synthesis of the latest thinking in optimal foraging and feeding theory.
- Adopts, for the first time, a truly interdisciplinary approach to diet selection.
- Authored by experts from each of the contributing fields.
