The first book that I read as a graduate student was Foraging Theory (Stephens, D. W., and J. R. Krebs. 1986, Foraging Theory. Princeton, Princeton University Press). At the time, I was planning to study the evolution of foraging behavior in snakes, and thus wanted to acquire a conceptual background for this work. As fate would have it, my subsequent research did not focus on foraging behavior (or snakes), but the book made a lasting impression on me anyway. The authors laid out a comprehensive and insightful theory, moving from simple models to complex ones, while drawing on relevant empirical data. The book culminated in a rigorous appraisal of the field’s accomplishments, driven by the match between theoretical predictions and empirical observations. Had I pursued my interest in foraging biology, the book would surely have become my academic bible. Instead, I soon developed a greater interest in thermal biology, only to discover that no analogous resource existed for this discipline.
