Prey foraging behavior, seasonality and time-budgets in black lion tamarins, Leontopithecus chrysopygus (Mikan 1823) (Mammalia, Callitrichidae).
Foraging behavior, seasonality and time-budgets in the Black Lion Tamarin (L. chrysopygus) was observed in the Caetetus Ecological Station, South-eastern Brazil, during 83 days between November 1988 to October 1990. For the full dry season we found that animal prey represented 11.2% of the black lion tamarin diet, while during the wet season they represented 1.9%. Foraging behavior made up 19.8...
متن کاملOptimal foraging and predator-prey dynamics III.
In the previous two articles (Theor. Popul. Biol. 49 (1996) 265-290; 55 (1999) 111-126), the population dynamics resulting from a two-prey-one-predator system with adaptive predators was studied. In these articles, predators followed the predictions of optimal foraging theory. Analysis of that system was hindered by the incorporation of the logistic description of prey growth. In particular, be...
متن کاملOptimal foraging and predator-prey dynamics, II.
In this paper we consider one-predator-two-prey population dynamics described by a control system. We study and compare conditions for permanence of the system for three types of predator feeding behaviors: (i) specialized feeding on the more profitable prey type, (ii) generalized feeding on both prey types, and (iii) optimal foraging behavior. We show that the region of parameter space leading...
متن کاملOptimal Foraging and Predator-Prey Dynamics
A system consisting of a population of predators and two types of prey is considered. The dynamics of the system is described by differential equations with controls. The controls model how predators forage on each of the two types of prey. The choice of these controls is based on the standard assumption in the theory of optimal foraging which requires that each predator maximizes the net rate ...
متن کاملForaging Challenges: Unsuitable Prey and Limited Information
Adviser: Brigitte Tenhumberg Food acquisition is a complicated task. The profitability of potential food items depends on numerous factors, including the spatial distribution, probability of detection and capture, and suitability of the food. Animals faced with such challenges can use relatively simple mechanisms to maximize foraging efficiency. However, mechanisms that maximize foraging effici...
