Why does central place foraging cause animals that travel farther to bring back larger amounts of food?

Who acts as "nature's scavengers"?

As described by the Optimal Foraging Theory, and animals feeding behavior should maximize ________ and minimize ________. (Fill in the blanks) Group of answer choices energy obtained, social interactions energy expended, energy obtained energy obtained, energy expended social interactions, energy obtained

What is effect on planning (including budgeting) on resource availability.

The use of the same limiting resource by two species is called (A) parasitism, (B) competition, (C) mutualism, (D) optimal foraging, (E) character displacement.

What are the advantages of utilizing non-conventional feedstuffs in animal feeding?

What is assimilation efficiency? How/why would assimilation efficiency differ for herbivores eating grass, herbivores eating seeds, and carnivores eating herbivores?

Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Effect of Food Density sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include  Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: higher food density corresponds to an extended duration of foraging.

How do populations ofpredators and prey vary inpredatism?

During mating season, males of certain species will perform displays of aggression toward other males when approached while they are courting a female. This type of behavior is an example of     altruistic behavior     agonistic behavior     fixed action pattern     polygamous behavior     predatory behavior   The capacity to make changes in behavior on the basis of experience is known as     a fixed action.     learning.     habituation.     conditioning.   Which of the following statements is not true concerning the optimal foraging theory?      forager tries to maximize the energy gained     forager tries to minimize the energy expended     forager secures essential nutrients     forager tries to minimize the risk of getting eaten while gathering food     forager contributes to the growth of its population by gathering food
