.  Simulations 4-6 had lower density of birds (more spacing), how did this influence their ability to escape predation?  With more spacing, which number of Junco’s was most advantageous (4, 8, and 16)?  Ecologically explain this result.    If this flock of birds occurred in an area with low food availability what flock density would you predict? Explain how food availability impacts flock size/competition.       Was there a relationship between prop. Vigilance (proportion of birds looking up right before Hawk attack) and the rate at which they escaped predation?             Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance (average number of birds looking up each tick) and the rate at which the Junco’s the escaped predation? Was there a relationship between Mean vigilance and the number of birds in the flock?

A, Aerial refers to calls given when an aerial predator was sighted, and terrestrial refers to calls given when a terrestrial predator was sighted. Recruitment calls prompted feeding meerkats to mob together. B, Generic alarm calls. OLow urgency calls are very similar to medium urgency calls. Aerial calls are similar to terrestrial calls. High urgency recruitment call is the loudest. Each call is unique and conveys a specific message. 2. 2. 4. 2. high urgency (kHz) medium urgency (kHz) low…
Discuss the pros and cons,in energetic terms,of (i) being a generalist as opposed to a specialist predator, and (ii) being a sit–and –wait predator as opposed to an active forager?
