Foraging: Behavior and Ecology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stephens, David W. / Brown, Joel S. / Ydenberg, Ronald C., PUBLISHER: University ong>ofong> Chicago Press, Foraging is fundamental to animal survival and reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter ong>ofong> finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find and consume resources to succeed, and they make extraordinary efforts to do so. For instance, pythons rarely eat, but when they do, their meals are large--as much as 60 percent larger than their own bodies. The snake's digestive system is normally dormant, but during digestion metabolic rates can increase fortyfold. A python digesting quietly on the forest floor has the metabolic rate ong>ofong> thoroughbred in a dead heat. This and related foraging processes have broad applications in ecology, cognitive science, anthropology, and conservation biology--and they can be further extrapolated in economics, neurobiology, and computer science. "Foraging "is the first comprehensive review ong>ofong> the topic in more than twenty years. A monumental undertaking, this volume brings together twenty-two experts from throughout the field to ong>ofong>fer the latest on the mechanics ong>ofong> foraging, modern foraging theory, and foraging ecology. The fourteen essays cover all the relevant issues, including cognition, individual ong>behaviorong>, caching ong>behaviorong>, parental ong>behaviorong>, antipredator ong>behaviorong>, ong>socialong> ong>behaviorong>, population and community ecology, herbivory, and conservation. Considering a wide range ong>ofong> taxa, from birds to mammals to amphibians, "Foraging" will be the definitive guide to the field.
