A functional response model of a predator population foraging in a patchy habitat.
1. Functional response models (e.g. Holling's disc equation) that do not take the spatial distributions of prey and predators into account are likely to produce biased estimates of predation rates. 2. To investigate the consequences of ignoring prey distribution and predator aggregation, a general analytical model of a predator population occupying a patchy environment with a single species of ...

متن کاملEstimated home ranges can misrepresent habitat relationships on patchy landscapes
Home ranges of animals are generally structured by the selective use of resource-bearing patches that comprise habitat. Based on this concept, home ranges of animals estimated from location data are commonly used to infer habitat relationships. Because home ranges estimated from animal locations are largely continuous in space, the resource-bearing patches selected by an animal from a fragmente...
متن کاملSite constancy of bumble bees in an experimentally patchy habitat
Habitat fragmentation alters the spatial and temporal distribution of floral resources in farmland. This will affect the foraging behaviour of bees utilising these resources and consequently pollen flow within and between patches of flowering plants. One element of bees’ foraging behaviour, which is likely to be affected, is the degree to which individual bees remain constant to a particular si...
متن کاملCompetition, Habitat Selection, and Character Displacement in a Patchy Environment.
Suppose now we are at optimum geometric design. Then, if our vector could suffer arbitrary variations, we could lower all the undesirable quantities by simply decreasing the first two components, keeping the second two components fixed. Such a possibility is in contradiction to our assumption of being at a minimum. We conclude that in the vicinity of the optimum design the vector (LFe, Lcu, AFe...
