- According to optimal foraging theory.. organisms will have a tendency to select the smallest prey available if they are common, rather than exert more energy in capturing larger prey. predators will always maximize their rate of energy gain when they forage for more than 1 prey type. an organism can gain unlimited resources if it invests more energy into increasing its food intake. a predator will include prey with high handling times in their diet as long as their energy of rate intake increases.arrow_forwardHow would short term advantage differ from the advantages of using a long term perspective in managing our resources?arrow_forwardOptimal 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.
