This is especially true for cooperative foraging which is thought to provide fitness benefits through more efficient acquisition and consumption of food. While examples of group foraging have been widely described, principles governing the formation of such aggregations as well as rules that determine cooperative group membership remain poorly understood. Here we take advantage of an experimental model system featuring cooperative foraging behavior in Dros… Show more
