Optimal foraging theory predicts that this bee will forage in a way that will maximize its hive's net yield of energy.

An evolutionarily stable strategy ( ESS) is a strategy (or set of strategies) that is impermeable when adopted by a population in adaptation to a specific environment, that is to say it cannot be displaced by an alternative strategy (or set of strategies) which may be novel or initially rare.
Food engineering is a scientific, academic, and professional field that interprets and applies principles of engineering, science, and mathematics to food manufacturing and operations, including the processing, production, handling, storage, conservation, control, packaging and distribution of food products. [1] [2] Given its reliance on food ...
Bioeconomics may refer to: Bioeconomics (fisheries), the study of the dynamics of living resources using economic models. Bioeconomics (biophysical), the study of economic systems applying the laws of thermodynamics. Biological economics, the study of the relationship between human biology and economics.
Ecological economics, bioeconomics, ecolonomy, eco-economics, or ecol-econ is both a transdisciplinary and an interdisciplinary field of academic research addressing the interdependence and coevolution of human economies and natural ecosystems, both intertemporally and spatially. [1] By treating the economy as a subsystem of Earth's larger ...
