- According to optimal foraging theory.. organisms will have a tendency to select the smallest prey available if they are common, rather than exert more energy in capturing larger prey. predators will always maximize their rate of energy gain when they forage for more than 1 prey type. an organism can gain unlimited resources if it invests more energy into increasing its food intake. a predator will include prey with high handling times in their diet as long as their energy of rate intake increases.Explain the concept of Foraging for Food ?Based ONLY on the feeding relationship in the picture, which one is the limiting factor for the insect? * Insect Mouse Owl Plant Herbivore/ Consumer Omnivore/ Carnivore/ Producer Consumer Consumer O Producer Omnivore O Carnivore Herbivore
- Which one of the following is not a food chain? Squirrel ➞ nuts ➞ hawk Leaves ➞ caterpillar ➞ bird Grass ➞ cows ➞ humans Grass ➞ antelope ➞ tigerWhich is a true statement that can be made about the food web? F Ants are both consumers and producers. G Flowers are both consumers and producers. H Harpy eagles are both predators and prey. J Squirrel monkeys are both predators and prey.Feral cat in wild compared to domestic cat are they larger or same size? Feral cats are they tougher then domestic cats for predators like bobcats or raccoons or possum or skunks or weasel? If feral cat has litter how they defend the litter from predators like dogs gain pack to surrive as cats won’t?
- Explain predator-prey dynamics and clearly state the factors that influence this relationship.What are the advantages of using the gun in the ecosystem? Try to explain by mercy killing animals aspectOptimal foraging theory can make predictions about an animal’s food choice. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about optimal diet breadth as resource quality, handling time and distribution changes? As handling time increases, animals should specialize As the distance between resources increases, animals should generalize As the energy content of the resources increases, animals should generalize As the distance between patches increases, animals should stay longer in a patch The following diagrams show four distribution patterns of resources. Each circle represents one unit of a resource, say, a food item. For which of these distributions would the Marginal Value Theorem be useful for making predictions about optimal foraging behavior. (Shown in image)
- Define the following terms: Predator Prey PopulationWhich feeding strategy is most likely to be associated with an organism that does not have a nervous system? Detritus feeding Herbivory Suspension feeding Parasitism PredationA trade-off of heterotrophic carnivores in gaining energy is that food is: scarce but it's easy to capture and kill their very nutritious food. abundant but it's nutritious. scarce but it's nutritious. abundant but it's difficult to capture and kill their very nutritious food.
