Suboptimal foraging theory: How inaccurate predictions and coarse approximations can make better models of adaptive behavior

The following four programs were used to generate Figure 1 of the manuscript. These links take you to web pages that have the full models coded in them, in the NetLogo modeling platform. You can run the models and read and download their code. Click “Model Info” on each page for additional information.

Forager patch selection model A: Original version based on Mangel & Clark (1986)

Forager patch selection model B: With food competition

Forager patch selection model C: With limited sensing and moving

Forager patch selection model D: With learning of predation risk
