Foraging  -  David W. Stephens, Joel S. Brown, Ronald C. Ydenberg

KORTE INHOUD

Foraging is fundamental to animal survival and reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter of finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find and consume resources to succeed, and they make extraordinary efforts to do so. The book discusses the mechanics of foraging, modern foraging theory, and foraging ecology. The fourteen essays cover all the relevant issues, including cognition, individual behaviour, caching behaviour, parental behaviour, antipredator behaviour, social behaviour, population and community ecology, herbivory, and conservation.
