Effect of Forage Sorghum on Milk Production
, 2010
"... ABSTRACT The effect of forage sorghum on dairy production was studied, using eight multiparous midlactating Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows, based on days in milk, lactation number and milk yield. They were divided into two treatments using a group comparison, with four animals in each group. Anim ..."

Distance and Temperature Effects on Pika Forage
, 2014
"... Research need The American pika, Ochotona princeps, has been referred to as a ‘canary in the coal mine ' when it comes to climate change. This small rabbit relative inhabits cool alpine and subalpine mountain areas and has been shown to be sensitive to higher temperatures from both physiologica ..."

indirect influence on long term pika success at individual sites could be through their forage base. Researchers in Colorado have shown that most pika foraging is within four meters of safe sites in talus with late summer haying occurring slightly further away (Roach et al. 2001, Huntley et al. 1986
Collaborative Foraging using Beacons
"... {bhroleno, sean, ksulliv2, cvo1} @ cs.gmu.edu A classic example of multiagent coordination in a shared environment involves the use of pheromone deposits as a communication mechanism. Due to physical limitations in deploying actual pheromones, we propose a sparse representation of the pheromones us ..."

of value iteration. Simulation results show that our approach is effective at finding good trails, locally improving them, and adapting to dynamic changes in the environments.
An elementary social information foraging model
- Proceedings of the 27th international conference on Human factors in computing systems (CHI’09
, 2009
"... User interfaces and information systems have become increasingly social in recent years, aimed at supporting the decentralized, cooperative production and use of content. A theory that predicts the impact of interface and interaction designs on such factors as participation rates and knowledge disco ..."

discovery is likely to be useful. This paper reviews a variety of observed phenomena in social information foraging and sketches a framework extending Information Foraging Theory towards making predictions about the effects of diversity, interference, and cost-ofeffort on performance time, participation
foraging in grassland habitats
"... Agricultural change is often cited as a causal factor in the decline of the UK’s farmland birds because bird declines have mirrored changes in agricultural practices. Although much is known about the mechanisms driving population declines on arable systems, mechanisms in grassland systems are relati ..."

are relatively poorly studied, despite receiving a similar degree of inten-sification. Agricultural intensification may affect bird declines by reducing food abundance or accessibility, forager mobility or predation risk. Here we examine experimentally the effects of sward height on the foraging behaviour
The Case for Cyber Foraging
"... Mobile devices are becoming increasingly smaller and lighter. However, this is done at the expense of their computational capability. Does this mean that mobile user will be unable to run computationally intensive applications? Cyber foraging construed as ‘living off the land”, may be an effective w ..."

Turbidity Affects Foraging Success of
"... Abstract.—The effects of suspended sediment on nongame fishes are not well understood. We examined the effects of suspended sediment (i.e., turbidity) on reactive distance and prey capture success at spring– autumn (128C) and summer (188C) temperatures for rosyside dace Clinostomus funduloides in an ..."

EFFECTS OF VARIABLE FIRE SEVERITY ON FORAGE PRODUCTION AND FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF MOOSE IN WINTER
"... ABSTRACT: The increasing frequency and extent of wildfires in Alaska over the last half century has spurred increased interest in understanding the role of post-fire succession on vegetation establish-ment. Our primary goal was to examine how wildfire affects production and distribution of winter fo ..."

/ha) and over-winter offtake (kg/ha) by moose. Under the assumption of homogenous effects of fire severity on regeneration, we estimated that moose consumed 36 % of all forage (current annual growth) across the study area. However, we found that moose exhibited significantly higher browse consumption relative
Wrapped Forages for Horses
"... Müller, C.E. 2007. Wrapped forages for horses. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7343-5. Wrapped forages, in the form of silage and haylage, have become more common in horse diets during recent years. Silage and haylage is commonly produced in big bales. However, for use in stab ..."
