Citation classic - optimal foraging - a selective review of theory and tests
TL;DR: A review of the literature on optimal foraging can be found in this article, with a focus on the theoretical developments and the data that permit tests of the predictions, and the authors conclude that the simple models so far formulated are supported by available data and that they are optimistic about the value both now and in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat Management to Conserve Natural Enemies of Arthropod Pests in Agriculture
TL;DR: The rapidly expanding literature on habitat management is reviewed with attention to practices for favoring predators and parasitoids, implementation of habitat management, and the contributions of modeling and ecological theory to this developing area of conservation biological control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-history strategies in parasitoid wasps: a comparative analysis of ‘ovigeny’
TL;DR: It is concluded that 'ovigeny' is a concept applicable to insects generally, and the hypothesis that it is associated with a tendency towards a low ovigeny index is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flower-visiting by hymenopteran parasitoids
TL;DR: The inflorescences of 53 plant species in a variety of habitats were examined for the presence of adult hymenopteran parasitoids (‘Parasitica’ only), and the wasps observed for feeding behaviour, and the literature reviewed.
Book ChapterDOI
Parasitoid foraging and learning.
TL;DR: The present chapter addresses the foraging behavior of parasitoids as influenced by learning as well as their importance in insect management.

Optimal foraging, the marginal value theorem.
TL;DR: This paper will develop a model for the use of a “patchy habitat” by an optimal predator and depresses the availability of food to itself so that the amount of food gained for time spent in a patch of type i is hi(T), where the function rises to an asymptote.

Optimal foraging: A selective review of theory and tests
TL;DR: The general conclusion is that the simple models so far formulated are supported are supported reasonably well by available data and that the author is optimistic about the value both now and in the future of optimal foraging theory.

Optimal Foraging Theory: A Critical Review
TL;DR: It follows that the proportion of individuals in a population foraging in ways that enhance their fitness will tend to increase over time, and the average foraging behavior will increasingly come to be characterized by those characteristics that enhance individual fitness.
