A priority-based queuing process explanation for scale-free foraging behaviours

Andrew M. Reynolds, Yan Ropert-Coudert, Akiko Kato, Andre Chiaradia, Andrew J.J. MacIntosh

Highlights

・Animals make decisions about how long to engage in particular activities.
・These decisions are idiosyncratic and shaped by complex interactions.
・Some of this complexity is captured by ‘stochastic decision-based queuing processes’.
・Here these processes are shown to operate generally across taxa.
