Foraging mode switching: the importance of prey distribution and foraging currency
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2015.04.014 0003-3472/© 2015 The Authors. Published on behalf license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Foraging methods are highly variable, but can be grouped into two modes: searching and ambush. While research has focused on the functioning of each mode, the question of how animals choose which to use has been largely neglected. Here we consid...
متن کاملOptimal foraging and predator-prey dynamics, II.
In this paper we consider one-predator-two-prey population dynamics described by a control system. We study and compare conditions for permanence of the system for three types of predator feeding behaviors: (i) specialized feeding on the more profitable prey type, (ii) generalized feeding on both prey types, and (iii) optimal foraging behavior. We show that the region of parameter space leading...
متن کاملOptimal foraging and predator-prey dynamics III.
In the previous two articles (Theor. Popul. Biol. 49 (1996) 265-290; 55 (1999) 111-126), the population dynamics resulting from a two-prey-one-predator system with adaptive predators was studied. In these articles, predators followed the predictions of optimal foraging theory. Analysis of that system was hindered by the incorporation of the logistic description of prey growth. In particular, be...
متن کاملForaging Challenges: Unsuitable Prey and Limited Information
Adviser: Brigitte Tenhumberg Food acquisition is a complicated task. The profitability of potential food items depends on numerous factors, including the spatial distribution, probability of detection and capture, and suitability of the food. Animals faced with such challenges can use relatively simple mechanisms to maximize foraging efficiency. However, mechanisms that maximize foraging effici...
متن کاملOptimal Foraging and Predator-Prey Dynamics
A system consisting of a population of predators and two types of prey is considered. The dynamics of the system is described by differential equations with controls. The controls model how predators forage on each of the two types of prey. The choice of these controls is based on the standard assumption in the theory of optimal foraging which requires that each predator maximizes the net rate ...
