Testing predictions of foraging theory for a sit-and-wait forager, Anolis gingivinus by Shafir, Sharoni, Roughgarden, Jonathan

“…Research in foraging theory has been dominated by studies of active foragers choosing among patches and among prey within a patch. Studies of central-place…”

Spatial Variation in Larval Concentrations as a Cause of Spatial Variation in Settlement for the Barnacle, Balanus glandula by Gaines, Steven, Brown, Stephen, Roughgarden, Jonathan

Niche Width: Biogeographic Patterns Among Anolis Lizard Populations by Roughgarden, Jonathan

“…One aspect of the niche width of a population refers to the variety of resources used by the entire population. This aspect may be measured by the variance of…”
