OPTIMALLY FORAGING MICE MATCH PATCH USE WITH HABITAT DIFFERENCES IN FITNESS.(Statistical Data Included)
Aug 01, 2000; ... DOUGLAS W. MORRIS [1] Abstract. We tested the fundamental assumption of the "optimality paradigm" that the foraging behavior of individual organisms corresponds to what we would expect if it had been honed by natural selection to match habitat differences in reproductive ...
INTERPOPULATION DIFFERENCES IN TOLERANCE TO CREOSOTE BUSH RESIN IN DESERT WOODRATS (NEOTOMA LEPIDA).(Statistical Data Included)
Aug 01, 2000; ... ANTONIO M. MANGIONE [1] M. DENISE DEARING [2] Abstract. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) can affect survival, reproduction, and distribution of herbivores. Individuals with a high capacity to tolerate PSMs will experience fewer and smaller adverse effects than less ...
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FOOD CHEMISTRY AND PREDATION RISK IN FOX SQUIRRELS.(Statistical Data Included)
Aug 01, 2000; ... KENNETH A. SCHMIDT [1] Abstract. The role of plant defensive compounds has often been studied within the purview of consumer diet choice. However, consumers are often confronted with foods distributed within depletable patches. To investigate the complication of resource ...
CHARACTER DISPLACEMENT AND RELEASE IN THE SMALL INDIAN MONGOOSE, HERPESTES JAVANICUS.(Statistical Data Included)
Aug 01, 2000; ... DANIEL SIMBERLOFF [1] TAMAR DAYAN [2] CARL JONES [3] GO OGURA [4] Abstract. In western parts of its native range, the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) is sympatric with one or both of two slightly larger congeners. In the eastern ...
WHAT DETERMINES PHENOLOGY AND SYNCHRONY OF UNGULATE BREEDING IN SERENGETI?
Aug 01, 2000; ... A. R. E. SINCLAIR [1] SIMON A. R. MDUMA [1,3] PETER ARCESE [2,4] Abstract. Birth seasons of ungulates in tropical regions show a complex pattern varying from asynchronous to highly synchronous and at different times of year. We examine the factors ...
