This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Topic 2. Foraging. Def AF Equations, Topic #2. Foraging Economics Definition (basic equation); Adaptive Function; Detailed Equation (mechanism) including Basic Definition / Equation, E(h) = E(c+k+e+d) (expanded) including k= Kill (only true predators), E(n) = E (f) - E ( s+ h + v) expanding deductions E(v) =E(iac+iec+pred) (expanded), Topic #2. Foraging Economics Definition (basic equation); Adaptive Function; Detailed Equation (mechanism) including More Detailed Equation, Individuals that forage to gain "maximal" E(n) (or at least very efficient) allows for individuals to Have more energy available to do other behaviors, E(v) =E(iac+iec+pred) (expanded) including iac = intraspecific competition, Have more energy available to do other behaviors for example to protect themselves, Have more energy available to do other behaviors for example to survive the winter (hibernators), Have more energy available to do other behaviors for example to mate, E(v) =E(iac+iec+pred) (expanded) including pred = their predators, E(n) = E (f) - E ( s+ h + v) expanding deductions E(h) = E(c+k+e+d) (expanded), E(n) = E (f) - E ( s+ h + v) expanding deductions E(s) = search (not expanded), E(n) = E (f) - E (s+ h + v) for which E (v) = energy to vigilance, E(h) = E(c+k+e+d) (expanded) including e=eat, E(n) = E (f) - E (s+ h + v) for which E(n) = net energy (profitability of prey/food) (available to animal), Topic #2. Foraging Economics Definition (basic equation); Adaptive Function; Detailed Equation (mechanism) including Adaptive Function (why animals exhibiting Maximal Foraging Efficiency will be selected by Nature), E(n) = E (f) - E (s+ h + v) for which E(s) =energy to search, E(h) = E(c+k+e+d) (expanded) including d=digest, Have more energy available to do other behaviors for example to migrate, More Detailed Equation being E(n) = E (f) - E ( s+ h + v)
