How to use foraging in a sentence?
Our study shows that the foraging behavior' shelling' — where dolphins trap fish inside empty seashells — spreads through social learning among close associates.
What we found was that caffeine would have the effect of more sugar, the one that did have caffeine attracted more bees, but in particular the bees who were foraging made more dances, about four times as many dances.
Our results show that dolphins are definitely capable, and in the case of shelling, also motivated to learn new foraging tactics outside the mother-calf bond, learning from others allows for a rapid spread of novel behaviors across populations, and it has been suggested that species with the capacity for learning from others in this way may be better able to survive.
This is surprising, as dolphins and other toothed whales tend to follow a' do-as-mother-does' strategy for learning foraging behavior.
Some dolphins use shells quite regularly during foraging, while others have only ever been seen with a shell once, so, while there may be other explanations, it's possible that some dolphins have mastered the skill more than others.
