Abstract: Foragers must balance the costs and gains inherent in the pursuit of their next meal. Classical functional responses formulations describe consumption rates driven by prey density and are naive to predator foraging costs. Here, we… read more here.

Abstract: Natural cavities are monopolizable resources used as nest sites across many species exhibiting exclusive male care. However, our understanding of how the availability of this type of reproductive site influences male–male competition and the foraging… read more here.
