Food webs coupled in space: Consumer foraging movement affects both stocks and fluxes

ALT An example of how stocks (boxes) and fluxes (arrows) change with soil fertility and foraging movement. Results are shown for a low fertility, low diversity habitat coupled with a high fertility, low diversity habitat. Arrows and boxes are scaled relative to the amount of nutrients present in each stock or flux

Mechanisms of individual variation in large herbivore diets: Roles of spatial heterogeneity and state-dependent foraging

ALT Gorongosa is located in central Mozambique (A) and consists of 4 major habitat zones (B: western escarpment, woodland, floodplain, eastern escarpment and Lake Urema). Bushbuck home ranges are drawn in C; blue polygons show home ranges that lie only within woodland habitat; red polygons show home ranges that overlap with floodplain habitat. D: A bushbuck foraging in woodland. E: A bushbuck foraging in floodplain

How much food is enough? A new study of Alaskan ducks & their crustacean prey shows it depends on how spatially variable the food is

Mama Grizzly 399 has been hitting the honey, grain, moose bait, & game cleaning left behinds but good, and helping her cubs find these nutrient-rich food resources #OptimalForaging (2/N)... usatoday.com/story/travel/ex…

First year 'moose' foraging for aquatic lettuce and terrestrial cabbage, balancing the need for calories and sodium, all within the volume constraint of their plastic bag rumen. Things did get very, very wet! #Belovsky #Optimalforaging #teaching

#Caribou aren't built for water, but they often swim between Canada's Fogo Islands, as reported by @ESAEcology's #TheScientificNaturalist. What makes them do it?

The only way to evade a diet is to forage for your own food and raid a cupboard (or four)! 😻😼

Rosie, you’re 2.25 years old. It’s time we have “the talk” about food web ecology. #dietanalyses #electivityindices #optimalforaging #daddyshark

Tiger spots the ringtail. For large carnivores, it doesn't typically make sense to hunt small mammals- the energy it takes a big cat to ambush & chase a small critter is more than the energy gained from such a small meal #OptimalForaging #2019MMM

Deer blinds in remote Upper Peninsula are more fun when you're not a hunter! These guys were in the middle of turf war, wish I could speak red squirrel! Love how he turns his back to pretend he's not there but they keep chipping for 10 more min - for show? #Optimalforaging 🤔 😂

Pelicans are the ultimate multi-prey loaders: they can capture and carry a LOT of fish at once!
Now, that's some #OptimalForaging!
