Nutrition, ecology and nutritional ecology: toward an integrated framework (2009, background): “OFT has clearly experienced many successes (Stephens et al. 2006), but an improved understanding of nutritional processes is not among them.”
Dietary shifts in two vultures after the demise of supplementary feeding stations: consequences of the EU sanitary legislation (2010, background): “Coexistence of species exploiting the same resource is facilitated by heterogeneous environments, which allow differential use of patches with variable environmental features and resource availability (Brown et al. 1994; Wauters et al. 2002; Carrete et al. 2005; Stephens et al. 2007).”
The adaptive nature of impulsivity. (2010, methodology): “We have rate models that deal with patch exploitation, diet choice, habitat choice, joining social groups, and so on (reviewed in Giraldeau & Caraco, 2000; Stephens et al., 2007; Stephens & Krebs, 1986).”
Model selection and model averaging in behavioural ecology: the utility of the IT-AIC framework (2010, background): “…NHST methods criticised in recent years, there is limited evidence to suggest that behavioural ecologists are beginning to embrace IT at the expense of NHST. Stephens et al. (2007b) presented a coarse assessment of the use of different statistical approaches in various journals at the end of 2005.”
The Behavioral Ecology of Nutrient Foraging by Plants (2011, background): “Because resource capture influences the energetic and nutritive state of organisms, behaviorists recognize the importance of understanding foraging ecology (Stephens et al. 2007) in order to understand broader aspects of an organism’s life history and general ecology.”
The effect of learning and search images on predator–prey interactions (2009, background): “In dealing with the spatial and temporal variability of prey species, predators may be able to forage optimally if they have flexible and rapid behavioral plasticity rather than predetermined responses (Dukas 1998; Stephens et al. 2007).”
Native plants improve breeding and foraging habitat for an insectivorous bird (2017, background): “It is possible that chickadees may forage less discriminately when prey availability is reliable, and switch to more directed foraging on preferred plants when prey is unreliable and/or in short supply (i.e. risk-sensitive foraging; Stephens et al., 2007).”
Fishing‐induced evolution of growth: concepts, mechanisms and the empirical evidence (2012, background): “Many trade-offs have been extensively studied within the field of foraging ecology (e.g. Stephens et al. 2007), and most of these relate to behaviour and risk-taking.”
Acoustic noise reduces foraging success in two sympatric fish species via different mechanisms (2014, background): “It has long been established that foraging is affected by a range of internal and external factors, such as hunger level, health, quality and quantity of food sources, intra- and interspecific competition, and predation risk (Lima & Dill, 1990; Stephens et al., 2007).”
The nature of nutrition: a unifying framework (2011, background): “Such unidimensional approaches to nutrition have generated valuable insights into foraging behaviour and provided a heuristic framework for thinking about ecological processes (White 1983; Stephens and Krebs 1986; Stephens et al. 2007).”
