forager

These particular rats are probably bigger than some tiny dogs, but a rat is a forager, so it can be motivated to keep this up for hours.

Archaeologists are much better about recognizing the complexity of forager lifeways than they were 50 years ago.

When a forager finds food, it leaves a chemical trail on its way back to the nest.

There are such things as heritage and forager breeds, not to mention dual purpose breeds.

Robin Hanson has a forager-vs-farmer mores system useful for analyzing this sort of thing.

Industrial systems bring back forager mores; high tech just blows it all to heck.

Addictive foods are more dangerous to someone who has a snacking/forager mentality than someone who plans and eats fixed meals every day.

Or the kind of 'work' that, say, a forager/gather type society would do?

Undesirable species can have overlapping habitats and climates so its not uncommon for a careless or ignorant forager to pick the wrong thing.

In the forest the bird acts as a self-forager, a tree-disease controller, a fireproofer, a fertilizer producer, and a rake.

Does anybody here know how the forager traffic is actually regulated?

We also have older structures, like the epigravittean mammoth huts, and a fairly good idea of the forager->farmer transition in the near east across the natufian culture.

I've also had heritage dual purpose breeds and more modern "forager" breeds like the freedom ranger.

I rather like Robin Hanson's "farmer/forager" model better.

Forager societies more closely resemble middle school than modern life.
