Long-term tracking of social structure in groups of rats
Mate Nagy, Jacob D. Davidson, Gabor Vasarhelyi +4
Rodents serve as an important model for examining both individual and collective behavior. Dominance within rodent social structures can determine access to critical resources, suc…
Stochastic dynamics of social patch foraging decisions
Subekshya Bidari, Ahmed El Hady, Jacob Davidson +1
Animals typically forage in groups. Social foraging can help animals avoid predation and decrease their uncertainty about the richness of food resources. Despite this, theoretical…
Normative theory of patch foraging decisions
Zachary P Kilpatrick, Jacob D Davidson, Ahmed El Hady
Foraging is a fundamental behavior as animals' search for food is crucial for their survival. Patch leaving is a canonical foraging behavior, but classic theoretical conceptions of…
Foraging as an evidence accumulation process
Jacob D. Davidson, Ahmed El Hady
A canonical foraging task is the patch-leaving problem, in which a forager must decide to leave a current resource in search for another. Theoretical work has derived optimal strat…
Spatial organization and interactions of harvester ants during foraging activity
Jacob D. Davidson, Deborah M. Gordon
Local interactions, when individuals meet, can regulate collective behavior. In a system without any central control, the rate of interaction may depend simply on how the individua…
