Group foraging versus solitary foraging efficiency in piscivorous predators: the perch, Perca fluviatilis, and pike, Esox lucius, patterns
A predator’s foraging strategy is generally described as either a sit-and-wait or an actively searching strategy. Two different behaviour patterns, often associated with these strategies, are territorial behaviour for a sit-and-wait predator, and group foraging behaviour for an actively searching predator. In a pond experiment, the effect of predator density on the efficiency of a […]
Seasonal variation in the length of the daily activity period in buffy-headed marmosets (Callithrix flaviceps): An important consideration for the analysis of foraging strategies in observational field studies of primates
Activity budgets are widely used in primate behavioral studies for the analysis of ecological strategies. In some cases, there is considerable seasonal variation in the length of the daily activity period. Here, activity budgets from two field studies of Callithrix flaviceps were compiled first by the traditional approach (proportion of scan sample records) and then […]
