• Play a foraging game where the object is to maximize the net rate of energy gain.
• Experiment to see how the best foraging strategy varies with the environment.
• Learn about the theory of optimal foraging and examine some tests of the theory in nature.

To assist you, sample multiple-choice questions are interspersed through the online exercise.

In addition, important concepts and topics are given further treatment in a reference section which is available from "Read more..." links throughout the exercise. This extra reading will help your understanding of the exercise, but it is not required.
