![]() | Adler, Frederick R. | Departure time versus departure rate: how to forage optimally when you are stupid | Foragers unable to leave a patch at the optimal moment must act as constrained foragers. Extending the results of Houston and McNamara (1985), we compare a blundering forager that leaves patches at a constant rate with an unconstrained optimal forager that leaves patches at the optimal time. | Blundering Foragers; Foraging; Marginal Value Theorem | 1999 |

![]() | Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Territoriality among human foragers: ecological models and an application to four Bushman Groups | Discussions of human territoriality have become more sophisticated in recent years; we see fewer arguments for or against the adaptiveness of territoriality for mankind in general and more attempts to probe the ecological factors that make territoriality adaptive in particular circumstances. | Foraging; Ecological Models; Bushman | 1983-02 |

![]() | Codding, Brian F. | Explaining prehistoric variation in the abundance of large prey: a zooarchaeological analysis of deer and rabbit hunting along the Pecho Coast of Central California | Three main hypotheses are commonly employed to explain diachronic variation in the relative abun dance of remains of large terrestrial herbivores: (1) large prey populations decline as a function of anthro pogenic overexploitation; (2 ) large prey tends to increase as a result of increasing social p... | Foraging; resource depression; prestige hunting; paleoclimatic variability; human behavioral ecology; zooarchaeology; central California | 2009-11-14 |
