- Optimal foraging theory can make predictions about an animal’s food choice. Which of the following is the most accurate statement about optimal diet breadth as resource quality, handling time and distribution changes? As handling time increases, animals should specialize As the distance between resources increases, animals should generalize As the energy content of the resources increases, animals should generalize As the distance between patches increases, animals should stay longer in a patch The following diagrams show four distribution patterns of resources. Each circle represents one unit of a resource, say, a food item. For which of these distributions would the Marginal Value Theorem be useful for making predictions about optimal foraging behavior.

- You are studying the diet of American bison. You gather the data in the graph below on the effort bison invest (gray bars, left hand Y-axis) in obtaining different types of grass (X-axis) and the energy content in calories of the grasses (white bars, right hand Y-axis). According to these data, which type of grass would optimal foraging theory predict bison choose?

O Under Type 3 curves, food intake increase slowly at the lowest prey densities O Type 2 curves can arise when there is substantial handling time involved in capturing and eating prey. O Type 1 curves are the most common found in nature. O For all functional response curves, food intake becomes limited by internal factors at high prey densities.arrow_forward
