Foraging Patch Selection in Winter: A Balance between Predation Risk and Thermoregulation Benefit

In winter, foraging activity is intended to optimize food search while minimizing both thermoregulation costs and predation risk. Here we quantify the relative importance of thermoregulation and predation in foraging patch selection of woodland birds wintering in a Mediterranean montane forest. Spec...
