Diet analysis integrates a wide variety of visual, chemical and biological identification of prey. Samples are often treated as compositional data, where each prey is analyzed as a continuous percen
The commitment states are ‘committed to foraging patch i’ (Xi) or ‘uncommitted’ (XU). Both models have the same positive and negative feedback for independent transitions: quality-dependent discovery
Empirical data about food size carried by central place foragers does not often fit with the optimum predicted by classical foraging theory. Traditionally, biotic constraints such as predation risk an
The standard deviation of mutation is scaled to be approximately 0.2 times the range of the parameter. The maximum of durations was imposed due to how the model was programmed, but was high enough not
