Foraging behaviour - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of foraging and its significance in determining the fitness of organisms. It delves into the various factors that influence efficient foraging behaviour, including minimising fluctuations in energy intake, maximising energy intake during certain periods, and minimising the time and energy costs of finding and consuming food. The document also discusses the costs and benefits of foraging, such as the energy expenditure required to sea...
