To minimize foraging time, use high‐efficiency, energy‐expensive search and capture methods when food is abundant but low‐efficiency, low‐cost methods during food shortages

Based on a mathematical model, I show that the amount of food in the habitat determines which among alternative methods for search of prey, respectively, for pursuit‐and‐capture give the shortest daily foraging time. The higher the locomotor activity, the higher the rate of energy expenditure and th...
