Description

Risk-sensitive Foraging Theory was developed to explain a forager's shift in choice between a variable or constant option. Given the number of risk-sensitive foraging studies, the area would benefit from a thorough literature review and meta-analysis. We analyzed over 180 articles, and 138 were identified as implementing risk-sensitive foraging procedures. Articles were coded using a formulaic ranking system to identify the primary models supported by research in addition to experimental methodologies. Primary goals included identifying trends between and within taxonomic categories in risk-sensitivity, comparing different models of foraging, specimen origin, and experimental location.
