An animal has a choice between two food patches. It can choose A, which has more individuals and more food, or B, with less individuals and less food. Which of the following is true? (Select all that apply.) Animals at both food patches have about the same amount of food available per individual It will choose A regardless of the situation, because there is more food there O It will choose based on which patch will give it the most food availability It will choose B regardless of the situation, because there is less competition there

Optimal foraging theory can make predictions about an animal’s food choice. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about optimal diet breadth as resource quality, handling time and distribution changes? As handling time increases, animals should specialize As the distance between resources increases, animals should generalize As the energy content of the resources increases, animals should generalize As the distance between patches increases, animals should stay longer in a patch The following diagrams show four distribution patterns of resources. Each circle represents one unit of a resource, say, a food item. For which of these distributions would the Marginal Value Theorem be useful for making predictions about optimal foraging behavior.

Use Verbal description of results from graph and then Interpret the graph for Effect of Food Density sccenario in foraging lab. The interpretations must include Were the results expected and Did they support the hypotheses? If so, state the biological significance of the results from graph. If the results deviated significantly from expected results, discuss the hypotheses onthe basis of expected results and include an explanation of why this might be so. Lastly, state the conclusions drawn from the experiment and their biological relevance. Hypothesis: higher food density corresponds to an extended duration of foraging.
Old People e = 100 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2 hours Middle Aged People e = 400 calories λ = 20 per night h = 5 hours Young Adults e = 300 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2.5 hours Suppose that the organism need 1000 calories per night. - Which food item should the organism prefer, and which ones would you expect them to eat on a regular basis? Explain why and show calculations. - Explain marginal value theorem, and how it might relate to an organisms foraging decisions. - λ for Old People should increase in the coming years. How could that affect this organisms feeding on humans?
