Question
Chapter 53, Problem 3DA
Summary Introduction
To explain: The foraging pattern of different animals.
Introduction: Different animals have different foraging behavior. The different foraging pattern is dependent on the energy content of the food and the cost of obtaining it. Foragers always prefer prey that maximizes energy return, which is the subtraction of the energy cost of obtaining the prey from the energy content of the prey.

A bird eats sunflower seeds from a bird feeder on a snowy day. Of the 1000 J of energy that was in the consumed seeds, the bird stored 10 J of energy in its body, eliminated 150 J of energy in its waste, and used the remaining energy to respire. What is the production efficiency of this bird?
Useful equation: PE = Pn/An x 100

- The bar-tailed godwit is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Aaska to New Zealand and back. The birds make each 11,500 kilometer (7,145 mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of travel. One bird was observed to make the entire journey uninterrupted , a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometers per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardIn ecological systems, a rough rule of thumb is that when energyis transferred from plants to plant-eaters or from preyto predator, the efficiency is only about 10% (p. 72). Muchof this inefficiency is a consequence of the second law ofthermodynamics. Another way to think of this is that eating 1calorie of material from an animal is the ecological equivalentof eating 10 calories of plant material.Humans are considered omnivores because we can eat bothplants and animals. Our food choices have significant ecologicalimpacts. With this in mind, calculate the ecologicalenergy requirements for four different diets, each of whichprovides a total of 2000 dietary calories per day.

While some predators consume more preys at higher prey density (e.g., spiders), other predators such as pelicans will slowly decrease prey consumption as prey density increases. What type of functional response will describe a backswimmer (aquatic predatory insect) that exhibits low prey consumption under low prey density, rapid prey consumption under moderate prey density that slows down at high prey density? O Type II O Type III O Type Iarrow_forwardSuppose that hares are the only prey and food supply of bobcats, and that the predator‒prey interaction follows Lotka‒Volterra dynamics. The mortality rate of bobcats in the absence of rabbits is 0.1 per month. The intrinsic growth rate of rabbits in the absence of predators is 0.2 per month. The attack efficiency of bobcats is 0.004. The efficiency at which hare biomass is converted into bobcat biomass is 0.25. If there are 60 bobcats and 400 hares, the instantaneous rate of change in the hare population will be a ____________ per month, and the instantaneous rate of change in the bobcat population will be a ____________ per month. A. loss of 16 hares; loss of 6 bobcats B. loss of 16 hares; gain of 18 bobcats C. gain of 16 hares; gain of 6 bobcats D. gain of 80 hares; gain of 24 bobcats E. loss of 96 hares; gain of 6 bobcatsarrow_forward
