Document Summary
All fish, lateral lines provide hydrodynamic information. Mechanoreceptors are based on the pressure of water. Emit sounds and listen to their echos. Arthropods and fruits: what did researchers find on the use of vision, olfactory and auditory senses in gray mouse foraging? individuals primarily relied on visual cues but used all three senses to locate prey successfully. Sifakas and ring-tailed lemurs primarily used visual cues to select food. Ruffed lemurs used both cue types equally: how is the energy intake rate calculated, according to the optimal foraging. The energy food contains divided by handling time. The profitability for the walnut is 4j/ sec, but the profitability for the sunflower is. Specialist: just eat one type of food. Advantages: takes less time to handle the food. Diet 1 has the lowest handling time. The model predicts that a forager should always eat types a, b, and c when encountered and should always reject types d and e.
