Contains the most comprehensive theoretical approach to behavioural ecology, coupled with quantitative methods that will underpin future work in the field. It identifies social foraging as an economic interaction between the actions of individuals and those of other foragers. This interdependence raises complex questions about the size of the foraging groups, the diversity of resources used, and the propensity of group members to exploit each other or forage cooperatively. The models developed in the book will allow researchers to test their own approaches and predictions.
