Foragers are individuals or groups who search for and gather food in their environment as a means of survival. This research area focuses on understanding the behaviors, strategies, and adaptations used by foragers to find and acquire food resources. It examines how foragers make decisions about where and when to search for food, how they assess the availability and quality of food sources, and how they deal with competition from other foragers or predators. Research in this area often involves studying traditional hunting and gathering societies, as well as non-human animals such as primates and birds that also engage in foraging behaviors. Overall, the study of foragers provides valuable insights into the complex interactions between individuals and their environment in the quest for sustenance.
