A Foraging Cost of Migration for a Partially Migratory Cyprinid Fish
Migration has evolved as a strategy to maximise individual fitness in response to seasonally changing ecological and environmental conditions. However, migration can also incur costs, and quantifying these costs can provide important clues to the ultimate ecological forces that underpin migratory behaviour. A key emerging model to explain migration in many systems posits that migration is drive...
متن کاملMigration confers survival benefits against avian predators for partially migratory freshwater fish.
The importance of predation risk in shaping patterns of animal migration is not well studied, mostly owing to difficulties in accurately quantifying predation risk for migratory versus resident individuals. Here, we present data from an extensive field study, which shows that migration in a freshwater fish (roach, Rutilus rutilus) that commonly migrates from lakes to streams during winter confe...
متن کاملMigration confers winter survival benefits in a partially migratory songbird
To evolve and to be maintained, seasonal migration, despite its risks, has to yield fitness benefits compared with year-round residency. Empirical data supporting this prediction have remained elusive in the bird literature. To test fitness related benefits of migration, we studied a partial migratory population of European blackbirds (Turdus merula) over 7 years. Using a combination of capture...
متن کاملA Partially Observable Markovian Maintenance Process with Continuous Cost Functions
In this paper a two-state Markovian maintenance process where the true state is unknown will be considered. The operating cost per period is a continuous random variable which depends on the state of the process. If investigation cost is incurred at the beginning of any period, the system wit I be returned to the "in-control" state instantaneously. This problem is solved using the average crite...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
