Multiple-stage decisions in a marine central-place forager
Air-breathing marine animals face a complex set of physical challenges associated with diving that affect the decisions of how to optimize feeding. Baleen whales (Mysticeti) have evolved bulk-filter feeding mechanisms to efficiently feed on dense prey patches. Baleen whales are central place foragers where oxygen at the surface represents the central place and depth acts as the distance to prey...
متن کاملCharacterizing habitat suitability for a central‐place forager in a dynamic marine environment
Characterizing habitat suitability for a marine predator requires an understanding of the environmental heterogeneity and variability over the range in which a population moves during a particular life cycle. Female California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) are central-place foragers and are particularly constrained while provisioning their young. During this time, habitat selection is a fu...
متن کاملBalancing Energy Budget in a Central-Place Forager: Which Habitat to Select in a Heterogeneous Environment?
Foraging animals are influenced by the distribution of food resources and predation risk that both vary in space and time. These constraints likely shape trade-offs involving time, energy, nutrition, and predator avoidance leading to a sequence of locations visited by individuals. According to the marginal-value theorem (MVT), a central-place forager must either increase load size or energy con...
متن کاملGone with the wind: Seasonal trends in foraging movement directions for a central-place forager
Lesser kestrels Falco naumanni are migratory central-place foragers that breed in dynamic arable landscapes. After arriving from migration, kestrels have no knowledge of the distribution of crops, and consequently prey, around their colony. The energy demand of pairs increases as breeding season progresses, but at the same time prey abundance, and their knowledge on prey distribution, also incr...
متن کاملEfficient location by using data envelopment analysis
So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability. The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models. After the advent of scienc...
