WebOptimal diet theory predicts that a predator should drop less profitable prey items from the diet at higher prey densities. In contrast, Gambusia maintained a mixed diet and its … WebThe optimal diet model is a classical version of the optimal foraging theory. This is also referred to as the contingency model or the prey choice model. As per this model, a predator has multiple options of prey and decides whether to look for more profitable prey or to eat what it already has.

WebNov 1, 2005 · Mathematical method: We outline a flexible model that combines phenotypic variation with optimal diet theory and population dynamics. We then apply this model to investigate the role of different... Webis defined as the ratio (E/I). Thus conventional optimal diet theory would not predict a preference for small worms. Table 3 shows the calculated values of Zs and ZL necessary to test the predictions of eqns (3) and (6). In addition it also contains a value ZLO, which is equivalent to ZL when discrimination time is zero. We include this value WebDec 14, 2011 · Since several decades, optimal diet theory (ODT) has been used to explain prey preference. ODT predicts that predators should hunt for prey items that generate high energetic values per unit of handling time (Emlen 1966, MacArthur and Pianka 1966, Schoener 1971, Pyke et al. 1977).In fact, a predator's net energy intake for each prey … pagina frente e verso
