You Are Studying Foraging Behaviors in a Small Seed-Eating Bird

question 26

Essay

You are studying foraging behaviors in a small seed-eating bird species. It takes each individual bird 3 seconds to find, handle, and consume one individual seed. Assume that each food patch has 100 seeds. Create a table (this will be referred to as Table 1) showing how long flocks of each size are expected to forage in a patch before completely depleting the resource. Then create a graph (this will be referred to as Figure 4) using the data in the table, with flock size (number of individuals) on the x-axis, and foraging time in a patch (in seconds) on the y-axis.
