Indirect Facilitation of Granivorous Birds by Desert Rodents: Experimental Evidence from Foraging Patterns1
In order to quantify the response of birds to experimental manipulations of seed availability and densities of granivorous rodents and ants, we counted granivorous birds and measured diurnal and nocturnal seed removal on 24 plots during winter months in the Chihuahuan Desert. Removal of single, widely spaced millet seeds provided a reliable measure of bird and rodent foraging activity. Avian fo...
متن کاملThe group-size paradox: effects of learning and patch departure rules
In many species, foraging in groups can enhance individual fitness. However, groups are often predicted to be larger than the size that maximizes individual fitness. This is because individual foragers are expected to continue joining a group until the fitness in the group falls to the level experienced by solitary foragers. If such a process were pervasive, social foraging, paradoxically, woul...
متن کاملEvidence for departure from a power-law flare size distribution for a small solar active region
Active region 11029 was a small, highly flare-productive solar active region observed at a time of extremely low solar activity. The region produced only small flares: the largest of the > 70 Geostationary Observational Environmental Satellite (GOES) events for the region has a peak 1–8Å flux of 2.2× 10Wm (GOES C2.2). The background-subtracted GOES peak-flux distribution suggests departure from...
متن کاملPatch Size and Population Density: the Effect of Immigration Behavior
Many habitat fragmentation experiments make the prediction that animal population density will be positively related to fragment, or patch, size. The mechanism that is supposed to result in this prediction is unclear, but several recent reviews have demonstrated that population density often is negatively related to patch size. Immigration behavior is likely to have an important effect on popul...
متن کاملColored noise, folding rates and departure from Kramers' behavior.
Recent experiments have shown that, for several proteins, the dependence of folding and unfolding rates on solvent viscosity does not obey Kramers' theory. Such a departure from standard Kramers' behavior is often attributed to the existence of internal friction, related to the structure of a polypeptide chain. In this paper, we propose an entirely different mechanism leading to violation of Kr...
