BULLETIN of the
Ecological Society of America

Volume 87, Number 3
July 2006

Cover Photo: White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) gleaning rice fields after harvest near Lake Miyajimanuma, in central Hokkaido, Japan, appear to base their behavior on the advantages of group foraging. The geese benefit from aggregation in feeding flocks, because alarms about potential predators are quickly spread through the flock, despite the potential local depletion of food resources. The authors found that a model allowing for incomplete knowledge about the distribution of food resources, combined with the benefits of aggregation, best described both individual flock behavior and the seasonal variation in flock size. For additional photographs associated with the article by T. Amano, K. Ushiyama, S. Moriguchi, G. Fujita, and H. Higuchi, see “Incompletely informed group foragers” in the Photo Gallery.
