“…Moreover, latency correlated positively with the amount of concealed food, supporting a negative relationship between exploratory behaviour and concealed food. One possible explanation for these novel findings may be that concealed resources are more stable and predictable in supply compared to food that is not concealed (Ellis et al 1976;Sherry 1990). If so, species that rely on such predictable resources should be less dependent on the discovery of new food types and can therefore afford to be less explorative.…”

“…Diet optimisation theories (Schoener 1971;Emlen 1973;Ellis et al 1976) suggest that animals optimise some function during feeding, (e.g., maximise energy, minimise feeding time, or meet some nutritional constraint). For grazing ruminants the most likely strategies are: (l) prey switching where selection is positively correlated with relative abundance; (2) energy optimisation where selection is constant as relative abundance increases; and (3) nutritional constraint where selection is negatively correlated with relative abundance.…”

“…Ketersediaan pangan dan kekhawatiran yang berlebihan juga dapat membiaskan pengaruh pengetahuan gizi terhadap perilaku makan (Per-Andersen, 1987;Ellis et al, 1976). Kelangkaan pangan karena bencana alam atau gangguan distribusi pangan bisa jadi membuat orang tidak bisa mengonsumsi pangan bergizi kesukaannya.…”
