Rate currencies and the foraging starling: the fallacy of the averages revisited
In classical optimal foraging models long-term rate of energy intake (the ratio of expected amount of food over expected time) is assumed to be die maximized currency, because doing this is consistent with minimizing die loss of alternative opportunities. Here this possibility and various alternatives are examined quantitatively using European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) in the laboratory. The...
متن کاملPredator personality and prey behavioural predictability jointly determine foraging performance
Predator-prey interactions play important roles in ecological communities. Personality, consistent inter-individual differences in behaviour, of predators, prey or both are known to influence inter-specific interactions. An individual may also behave differently under the same situation and the level of such variability may differ between individuals. Such intra-individual variability (IIV) or ...
متن کاملForaging theory upscaled: the behavioural ecology of herbivore movement.
We outline how principles of optimal foraging developed for diet and food patch selection might be applied to movement behaviour expressed over larger spatial and temporal scales. Our focus is on large mammalian herbivores, capable of carrying global positioning system (GPS) collars operating through the seasonal cycle and dependent on vegetation resources that are fixed in space but seasonally...
متن کاملInformation Costs and International Currencies
This paper develops a unified framework for examining international payment patterns. Using an open-economy search model with competing monetary assets, I show how information costs and government transaction policies interact to produce a structure of world payments reminiscent with what is observed in practice. Agents’ decision to acquire information shapes exchange patterns by affecting a cu...
متن کاملCorrelation Networks Among Currencies
By analyzing the foreign exchange market data of various currencies, we derive a hierarchical taxonomy of currencies constructing minimal-spanning trees. Clustered structure of the currencies and the key currency in each cluster are found. The clusters match nicely with the geographical regions of corresponding countries in the world such as Asia or East Europe, the key currencies are generally...
