  11. Functional Response: Controlled Experiment Fig. 7.23 in Molles 2008

  12. Functional Response: Natural Environments Fig. 7.24 in Molles 2008

  13. Predatory Water Bug vs. Prey: Isopod Prey: Mayfly Larva

  14. How do Red-Winged Blackbirds Allocate Energy? 1 2 3 4

  15. How do Cacti Allocate Energy? 6 5 9

  16. Optimal Foraging Theory (Derived from Economics) • Energy Supplies are Limited • Organisms cannot maximize all functions • Allocation of Energy is a Compromise between Needs

  17. How do Organisms Select a Diet? Bluegill

  18. MODEL FOR ENERGY YIELD: ONE PREY ITEM Ne1E1 - Cs E = __________________ T 1 + Ne1H1

  19. E T = = Ne1 Cs = H1 =

  20. TWO PREY ITEMS + (Ne2E2 – Cs) (Ne1E1 – Cs) E = _____________________________________________ T 1 + Ne1H1 + Ne2H2

  21. DIET CHOICE: Optimization Ne1E1 - Cs E T = ONE PREY ITEM __________________ 1 + Ne1H1 OR + (Ne2E2 – Cs) (Ne1E1 – Cs) E T TWO PREY ITEMS = _____________________________________________ 1 + Ne1H1 + Ne2H2
