Risk-Sensitive Foraging in Humans Budgeting Time: Correlated with Real-World Financial Situation
Foraging theory has been studied extensively in non-human animals. Using models developed through animal-study, researchers have recently begun to examine how humans make decisions with regard to resource-expenditure. Using a computer-based task, the proposed study investigated risk-sensitive …

Effects of Timber Harvesting on Terrestrial Salamander Abundance and Behavior
… tested whether poorly fed salamanders exhibited risk-sensitive foraging in a dry environment in a laboratory experiment. Poorly fed salamanders were observed out of their simulated burrows less than well fed salamanders suggesting salamanders, particularly females and small adults, are …
