Stochastic dynamic programming is frequently used to model [[optimal behaviour]] in fields such as [[behavioural ecology]]<ref>Mangel, M. & Clark, C. W. 1988. ''Dynamic modeling in behavioral ecology'' Princeton University Press ISBN 0-691-08506-4</ref><ref>Houston, A. I & McNamara, J. M. 1999. Models of adaptive behaviour. Cambridge University Press ISBN 0-521-65539-0</ref>. Empirical tests of models of optimal foraging, life-history transitions such as fledging in birds and egg laying in parasitoid wasps have shown the value of this modelling technique in explaining the evolution of behavioural decision making.
