Foraging competition in Siberian jay groups was examined in relation to dominance and kinship to determine whether juvenile
offspring, by associating with adults, gained in food acquisition relative to juvenile immigrants. Members of the adult pair
were dominant over juvenile cohort members and males were dominant to females, although an inter-sexual hierarchy, with male
juveniles occasionally overlapping adult females, was suggested. Few competitive asymmetries were found between adults and
retained offspring or adults and immigrant juveniles when they were competing for food together, but in kin and non-kin foraging
groups, respectively. Male offspring visited the bait site more frequently than adult males, and female immigrants spent less
time at the bait site than adult females. Under these circumstances, hoarding activities may limit the ability of alpha members
to control resources. In mixed groups containing both juvenile offspring and juvenile immigrants, no difference was found
in the number of visits made to the bait site, although load sizes and foraging rates were lower for immigrant birds. Retained
juveniles obtained greater load sizes and foraging rates when associating with adults. The social dominance of parents suggests
that they control juvenile foraging. Although offspring benefit in the presence of adults, adults may incur a cost to their
restraint by spending more time at the bait site when competing with immigrants. These results extend conclusions from previous
work describing the role of selective tolerance by adults which relaxes competition with retained offspring in Siberian jay
winter groups. The present findings suggest that offspring benefit in both immediate and future energy gains, which may have
a direct influence on survival.

In temperate regions, winter presents animals with a number of challenges including depressed food abundance, increased daily
energy requirements, higher frequency of extreme weather events and shortened day length. Overcoming these constraints is
critical for overwintering survival and scheduling of future breeding of long-lived species and is likely to be state dependent,
associated with intrinsic abilities such as food acquisition rates. We examined the relationship between environmental and
intrinsic factors on overwintering foraging and subsequent breeding phenology of the European shag Phalacrocorax aristotelis, a diurnal marine predator. We tested a range of hypotheses relating to overwintering foraging time and location. We found
that individuals greatly increased their foraging time in winter to a peak of more than 90% of available daylight at the winter
solstice. The seasonal patterns of foraging time appear to be driven by a combination of light levels and weather conditions
and may be linked to the availability of the shag's principal prey, the lesser sandeel Ammodytes marinus. There was no evidence that shags dispersed south in winter to increase potential foraging time. Foraging time decreased
after the winter solstice and, crucially, was correlated with subsequent breeding phenology, such that individuals that spent
less time foraging in February bred earlier. The relationship was much stronger in females than males, in line with their
more direct control of timing of breeding. Our results demonstrate that pre-breeding intrinsic foraging ability is critical
in determining breeding phenology. 相似文献

Availability of food resources and individual characteristics can influence foraging behaviour, which can differ between males and females, leading to different patterns of food/habitat selection. In dimorphic species, females are usually more selective in food choice, show greater bite rates and spend more time foraging than males. We evaluated sexual differences in foraging behaviour in Apennine chamois Rupicapra pyrenaica ornata, during the warm season, before the rut. Both sexes selected nutritious vegetation patches and spent a comparable amount of time feeding. However, males had a significantly greater feeding intensity (bite rate) and a lower search effort for feeding (step rate), as well as they spent more time lying down than females. Females selected foraging sites closer to refuge areas than males. In chamois, sexual size dimorphism is seasonal, being negligible in winter–spring, but increasing to 30–40 % in autumn. Our results suggest that males enhance their energy and mass gain by increasing their food intake rate during the warm season, to face the costs of the mating season (November). Conversely, females seem to prioritize a fine-scale selection of vegetation and the protection of offspring. A great food intake rate of males in the warm season could have developed as a behavioural adaptation leading herbivores to the evolutionary transition from year-round monomorphism to permanent dimorphism, through seasonal dimorphism. 相似文献

For males, courting and foraging are often behavioral alternatives, which take time and consume energy. When males have a
possibility of mating with receptive females, there may be a behavioral trade-off between courtship and feeding; the outcome
of which may be affected by male physiological condition and food availability. Although many mathematical models and empirical
studies suggest that the expression of male courtship signals are condition-dependent, decisions about courtship and mating
strategies in relation to food availability have not attracted much attention. In this study, we tested whether daily changes
in food availability affect males’ decisions about whether to court. We conducted experiments with the fiddler crab Uca lactea by providing males with additional food every other day. In food-supplemented enclosures, males did not increase courtship
activity on the days when food was supplemented. However, they built more courtship structures (semidomes) and waved more
on the days when they were not given additional food. Male size had a strong influence on the number of days the males courted.
We also tested whether the frequency of surface mating, as an alternative reproductive tactic, decreased when food was supplemented.
Contrary to our expectation, the number of males that exhibited the surface-mating tactic increased when food was supplemented
whereas the number of mate-searching females did not change. Our findings in this field study suggest that reproductive decisions
by male fiddler crabs are affected by fluctuating food availability and present body condition, and the alternative mating
tactic of this species may be more frequently used by males under good condition. 相似文献

In a sex role reversed pipefish, Syngnathus typhle, we found that basic life history allocations were directly influenced by sexual selection. We investigated time allocation to foraging and mating, respectively, in a choice experiment, giving males and females, of small or large body size, a choice between food and a potential partner. We found that males were more interested in foraging than mating, i.e., were more frequently observed in front of the food than in front of the partner, whereas females were more interested in the potential partner. This reflects sexual selection operating differently on the two sexes, as males and females are relatively similar in other life history traits, such as growth, mortality, age of maturity, dispersal, and parental expenditure. Moreover, large individuals allocated more time to mating activities, small to feeding. Individuals more interested in mating compared to food were subsequently more critical when given a choice between a large (high-quality) and a small (low-quality) partner, whereas individuals more interested in food were not selective. These findings are consistent with our predictions: sex-role reversed males can be relatively sure of achieving one or more matings, and should allocate more time to feeding and, hence, to parental investment, growth and/or future reproduction. Females, on the other hand, have more uncertain mating prospects and should allocate time to imminent reproductive activities, thereby foregoing other life history traits such as growth and future egg production. By this, they also sacrifice future fecundity and attractiveness. 相似文献

Energy management during the breeding season is crucial for central place foragers since parents need to feed themselves and their offspring while being spatially and temporally constrained. In this work, we used overall dynamic body acceleration as a measure of activity and also to allude to the foraging energy expenditure of breeding Imperial cormorants Phalacrocorax atriceps. We also analyzed how changes in the time or energy allocated to different activities affected the foraging trip energy expenditure and estimated the daily food requirements of the species. Birds spent 42 % of the total energy flying to and from the feeding areas and 16 % floating at sea. The level of activity underwater was almost 1.5 times higher for females than for males. The most expensive diving phase in terms of rate of energy expenditure was descending though the water column. The total foraging trip energy expenditure was particularly sensitive to variation in the amount of time spent flying. During the breeding season, adult cormorants breeding along the Patagonian coast would consume approximately 10,000 tons of food. 相似文献

Summary Vigilance behavior, predator detection abilities, and responses to real and model predators were studied in two species of capuchin monkeys (Cebus albifrons and C. apella) in a Peruvian lowland rain forest. Adult males were more vigilant than adult females in both species, mainly because the males spent less time feeding and foraging and partly because they were at the periphery more often than the females. The increased vigilance of adult males is reflected in their superior performance in the detection of (model) predators. Adult and subadult males were also far more likely to approach and mob real and model predators. Adults that were outside the center of the group increased foraging activities but cut back an feeding, much of which was done in exposed tree crowns. Current theory suggests that primate groups are multi-male when a single male is unable to defend sexual access to the group of females. In these small capuchin groups, which are multimale, the enhanced safety of females and young provided by extra adult males furnishes a more plausible explanation. A comparison of the two capuchins with the ecologically similar Southeast Asian Macaca fascicularis suggests that the high predation risk outside the group may also have caused the unusual male career profile in capuchins, which have a long tenure of dominants and a very long potential lifespan. Further predictions of this hypothesis are developed. 相似文献

In sexually dimorphic ungulates, males generally spend less time foraging than females, possibly because of difference in body mass or because of the energetic requirements of lactation. The relationship between body size and foraging time has received little attention at the intra-specific level, because few studies have documented activity budgets for individuals of known size. Bighorn rams are a good model to explore how body mass affects foraging time, because they range in mass from 55 to 140 kg. We examined how the foraging time of bighorn rams varied according to individual characteristics. We observed rams in a marked population and constructed time budgets during the 3 months preceding the rut. We determined ram social rank based on agonistic encounters and collected fecal samples to count lungworm larvae. Time spent foraging was negatively correlated with body mass. After accounting for age differences, larger rams spent less time foraging and more time lying than smaller rams. Among rams aged 6–12 years, dominants spent less time feeding than subordinates, while fecal output of lungworm larvae was negatively correlated with foraging time for rams of all ages. Body mass accounts for much of the individual variation in foraging time, suggesting that sexual dimorphism is important in explaining differences in feeding time between males and females.Communicated by P.

In mammalian polygynous mating systems, male reproductive effort consists mainly of male–male competition and courting of
females, which entail substantial somatic costs. Males are thus expected to adjust their reproductive effort according to
their age and condition. In this study, we examined how activity budgets of male mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), a polygynous ungulate, varied with age in a marked population over two periods: (1) summers 1995–2006 and (2) ruts 2004–2006.
We then assessed if the proportions of time spent in male–male competition and courtship behaviors were influenced by age-specific
body mass and social rank during the rut. Males spent most of their time foraging and resting during summer, and rested more
and foraged less with increasing age. During the rut, pronounced shifts in activity budgets occurred as juveniles (1–2 years)
increased time spent foraging, whereas adults (≥3 years) increased standing and time spent in social interactions at the expense
of foraging. At old age, reproductive effort either stabilized or decreased slightly, providing weak support for the ‘mating
strategy–effort’ hypothesis, predicting that courtship behaviors should peak in prime-aged males. Age-specific body mass did
not affect time spent in male–male competition, but was positively related with time spent in courtship behaviors, providing
support for the ‘individual quality’ hypothesis, predicting that males with more resources at the start of the rut should
spend more time in mating-related activities. Age-specific social rank did not affect reproductive effort. Surviving to prime
age while increasing mass each year should thus allow male ungulates to gain greater ability to court estrus females. 相似文献

In katydids such as Kawanaphilanartee, a female bias in the operational sex ratio (OSR) results in female competition for mates and male choice of mates. Previous
work showed that the excess of sexually active females occurs when food availability is low, in part because less food increases
the propensity of females to mate as they forage for the large edible spermatophores produced by males. In this study with
K.nartee, a pollen-feeding species, we estimate natural variation in numbers of sexually active males and females by assessing male
calling activity and the propensity of females to respond to experimental calling males. We found an excess of sexually active
males at a site with many flowers and an excess of sexually active females at a site with few flowers about 900 m away. Between-site
differences in gut masses of calling males were consistent with the hypothesis that pollen availability controls OSR. Finally,
at a third site where flowers were at first scarce, we found that the initial excess in sexually active females changed to
an excess of sexually active males after a clump of grass-trees flowered. The mean gut mass of all sampled males from this
site increased after flowering. The large variation in OSR that we document for K. nartee highlights the importance of identifying the appropriate spatial and temporal scales over which OSRs are measured in studies
of factors controlling sexual selection.

Differential interests between the sexes regarding the number of copulations can result in sexual harassment. Hence, females
may have less time available for foraging. Male sexual harassment often leads to fitness reduction in females. We used the
mating complex of the bisexual fish Poecilia mexicana and the co-occurring all-female Poecilia formosa to study sexual harassment and its incurred cost on female feeding efficiency. P. formosa is a sperm-dependent parthenogen that requires mating with host males to induce embryogenesis, but the male genes are not
used. We therefore predicted P. mexicana males to prefer conspecific females. Hence, costs of male sexual harassment should not occur in unisexuals. While P. formosa are at a disadvantage compared to P. mexicana females due to male mate choice (leading to sperm limitation), this could be traded-off by suffering less from sexual harassment.
In our experiment, we found males to direct significantly more pre-copulatory mating behaviour towards conspecific females,
whereas actual mating attempts did not differ between species. Contrary to our prediction, both types of females started feeding
later and spent less time feeding in the presence of a male partner compared to the time spent feeding with another female,
suggesting that females of both species suffer from male harassment. The focal females' feeding time declined with increasing
body size of the female competitor, and the same pattern was found when a male was present. We discuss that—besides sexual
harassment—other factors such as food competition and female mate choice may affect female feeding efficiency. 相似文献

Prey density and the behavioral flexibility of a marine predator: the common murre (Uria aalge) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Harding AM Piatt JF Schmutz JA Shultz MT Van Pelt TI Kettle AB Speckman SG 《Ecology》2007,88(8):2024-2033
Flexible time budgets allow individual animals to buffer the effects of variable food availability by allocating more time to foraging when food density decreases. This trait should be especially important for marine predators that forage on patchy and ephemeral food resources. We examined flexible time allocation by a long-lived marine predator, the Common Murre (Uria aalge), using data collected in a five-year study at three colonies in Alaska (USA) with contrasting environmental conditions. Annual hydroacoustic surveys revealed an order-of-magnitude variation in food density among the 15 colony-years of study. We used data on parental time budgets and local prey density to test predictions from two hypotheses: Hypothesis A, the colony attendance of seabirds varies nonlinearly with food density; and Hypothesis B, flexible time allocation of parent murres buffers chicks against variable food availability. Hypothesis A was supported; colony attendance by murres was positively correlated with food over a limited range of poor-to-moderate food densities, but independent of food over a broader range of higher densities. This is the first empirical evidence for a nonlinear response of a marine predator's time budget to changes in prey density. Predictions from Hypothesis B were largely supported: (1) chick-feeding rates were fairly constant over a wide range of densities and only dropped below 3.5 meals per day at the low end of prey density, and (2) there was a nonlinear relationship between chick-feeding rates and time spent at the colony, with chick-feeding rates only declining after time at the colony by the nonbrooding parent was reduced to a minimum. The ability of parents to adjust their foraging time by more than 2 h/d explains why they were able to maintain chick-feeding rates of more than 3.5 meals/d across a 10-fold range in local food density. 相似文献

The study of how and why marine animals distribute themselves at sea has important conservation and management implications
of the species and their habitats. We characterize the oceanographic and biological landscapes of the marine areas used by
breeding Southern Giant Petrels (Macronectes giganteus) at Patagonian colonies and explore inter-sexual and inter-colony differences. The at-sea movements of 16 adults (7 males
and 9 females) were studied by means of satellite telemetry techniques during 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2004 breeding seasons.
Southern Giant Petrels utilized an oceanographic scenario characterized by high productivity, warm sea surface temperature,
and shallow waters. The biological landscape was characterized by a high availability of squid and carrion nearby colonies.
Females spent more time in the shelf break and exploited deeper waters than males. In contrast, males spent more time in coastal
areas and they showed a higher spatial overlap with areas of high squid density than females. Such a prosperous foraging scenario
for both sexes may play a key role in the growth of the breeding population of Southern Giant Petrel Patagonian colonies. 相似文献

Summary Checker-throated antwrens (Formicariidae: Myrmotherula fulviventris) live in lowland neotropical forests and forage from dead curled leaves in the understory. Because they search each leaf individually they provide an opportunity to study the use of potential visual cues by an insectivorous bird. Long and highly curled leaves contain the most arthropods and checker-throated antwrens were more successful when foraging at those leaves. Yet, they used leaves at random with respect to these potential cues. Antwrens spent longer searching for arthropods in each highly curled leaf than in less curled leaves. Because of this additional search time, prey capture success per unit foraging time was only slightly greater for highly curled leaves than at the average dead leaf in the aerial leaf litter. Thus, the cues that antwrens could use to locate richer leaves are those features that obscure the prey from avian predators. Unlike other foraging systems, the antwrens appear to have no reliable cues indicating more profitable foraging sites.Address for correspondence 相似文献

The effect of reproductive condition on the foraging behavior of female hoary bats,Lasiurus cinereus
R. M. R. Barclay 《Behavioral ecology and sociobiology》1989,24(1):31-37
Summary Female mammals experience larg changes in time and energy budgets associated with reproduction and these may influence the foraging strategies of individuals. I studied the changes in foraging behavior associated with reproduction in female hoary bats, Lasiurus cinereus. As lactation progressed, individuals departed to forage earlier in the evening and spent more time foraging per night and less time roosting with their young. Foraging time increased by at least 73% between early lactation and fledging and then declined as the young became independent. Females with two young foraged for longer than did those with one and females with pre- and postfledging young foraged in different habitats. The changes in foraging time suggest that foraging activity of female L. cinereus is constrained and individuals act as time minimizers, adjusting their foraging behavior to meet current energy demand. Predation risk is unlikely to constrain the behavior of these bats. However, maximizing energy intake throughout lactation may not be the optimal strategy because storing excess energy increases flight cost and may reduce foraging efficiency. The need to keep newborn young warm may also influence foraging time. Such constraints, causing changes in foraging activity, may alter the availability of habitats and prey and must be considered when modelling foraging strategies. In addition, changes in flight time may significantly alter the energy budgets of bats in different stages of reproduction. 相似文献

Advertisement call duration indicates good genes for offspring feeding rate in gray tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Indicator or ”good genes” models of sexual selection predict that mating preferences allow females to choose mates that are
genetically superior. Female gray tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) prefer male advertisement calls of long call duration, which can be indicators of enhanced offspring growth performance.
We tested the effects of father’s call duration and the presence of a caged predator (dragonfly naiad) on tadpole activity
and growth in a factorial experiment, controlling for maternal and environmental effects. The effect of food availability
(a repeated measure) on tadpole activity was also examined. Tadpoles responded to predator presence and to high food availability
by decreasing activity and feeding. Tadpoles exposed to a caged predator were smaller after 14 days than those exposed to
an empty cage, suggesting that spending less time feeding carries the cost of reduced growth. Offspring of males with long
versus short calls responded similarly to the presence of a predator. Nonetheless, offspring of long-calling males spent more
time feeding than did offspring of short-calling males, except when a predator was present but no food was available. Increased
time spent feeding may contribute to enhanced offspring growth and, therefore, to the indirect benefit that a female may realize
by selecting a mate with long calls. However, because the behavioral differences depended on the environment, and because
the fitness consequences of such behavioral differences should also vary with the environment, the benefit of mating with
a long-calling male may depend on the conditions encountered by the offspring.

Summary The costs and benefits of territorial defense were examined in a group of five wild golden lion tamarins, Leontopithecus rosalia, at Poco d'Antas Biological reserve, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I examined the effects of both interference and exploitative competition between groups of tamarins by comparing their use of space, time budgets and foraging success in different contexts of intergroup interactions and in quadrats shared and not shared by other groups. Tamarins spent more time moving and vocalizing, and less time feeding, foraging, and resting during intergroup encounters than in non-encounter contexts. Irrespective of intergroup distance, the group spent more time in overlapping areas of the range periphery than expected on the basis of quadrat availability. In those areas, however, foraging success per unit of foraging effort was lower than in exclusive areas of the range center. This suggests that access to high payoff central areas depended on costly defense (by both interference and exploitation) of the range periphery. Time and energy invested by the resident group in territorial defense (1) increased the availability of food in the range center, and (2) minimized food loss to neighboring groups in the range periphery. These benefits are likely to justify the costs of defense for an animal which depends on easily-depletable food supplies, such as prey in microhabitats and small concentrations of fruits and nectar. 相似文献

Colony nutritional status modulates worker responses to foraging recruitment pheromone in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Foraging activity in social insects should be regulated by colony nutritional status and food availability, such that both
the emission of, and response to, recruitment signals depend on current conditions. Using fully automatic radio-frequency
identification (RFID) technology to follow the foraging activity of tagged bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) during 16,000 foraging bouts, we tested whether the cue provided by stored food (the number of full honeypots) could modulate
the response of workers to the recruitment pheromone signal. Artificial foraging pheromones were applied to colonies with
varied levels of food reserves. The response to recruitment pheromones was stronger in colonies with low food, resulting in
more workers becoming active and more foraging bouts being performed. In addition to previous reports showing that in colonies
with low food successful foragers perform more excited runs during which they release recruitment pheromone and inactive workers
are more prone to leave the nest following nectar influx, our results indicate that evolution has shaped a third pathway that
modulates bumblebee foraging activity, thus preventing needless energy expenditure and exposure to risk when food stores are
already high. This new feedback loop is intriguing since it involves context-dependent response to a signal. It highlights
the integration of information from both forager-released pheromones (signal) and nutritional status (cue) that occurs within
individual workers before making the decision to start foraging. Our results support the emerging view that responses to pheromones
may be less hardwired than commonly acknowledged.

Female and male reproductive interests often differ. In species in which matings are accompanied by a transfer of resources
valuable for both participants, such as nuptial prey gifts, conflicts may readily occur. Scorpionflies may use alternative
mating tactics. One is to offer a prey item (dead arthropod) to females in exchange for mating. This prey gift tactic includes
a conflict because a male must decide on whether to offer the gift rather than to fight the female and consume the gift. The
outcome may depend on the nutritional status of both males and females. Males may be more willing to give if they themselves
are satiated and the condition of the females may influence the payoff from the males’ investment. Similarly, females may
be more willing to accept food gifts if they are in poor nutritional condition. In this study of the scorpionfly Panorpa cognata, I experimentally manipulated the feeding history of both males and females. I observed the outcome of the direct interactions
that followed when males that were holding prey were approached by females. I found that well-fed males offered the food gift
sooner than males in poor nutritional condition that fed extensively on the food item before offering. Female condition had
no significant influence on whether prey items were offered by males or accepted by females. I also found that well-fed males
rarely searched for prey to pursue the prey gift tactic in courtship. Thus, the prey tactic does not seem to be the males’
first option. 相似文献

Reproduction of Diadema aff. antillarum was examined between 2002 and 2005 at subtidal rocky bottoms around the Canary Islands. Two contrasting habitats (urchin
barrens and grazing fronts) characterized by different levels of food availability were chosen, and factors thought to influence
reproductive periodicity were monitored, including temperature, photoperiod, phytoplankton abundance and benthic food availability.
Histological analyses showed that D. aff. antillarum had an annual reproductive cycle that was relatively synchronous across the studied sites and habitats. Photoperiod was the
most significant factor that correlated with gonad periodicity; benthic food availability of 2 month lag was also correlated.
However, some differences were detected between males and females in the timing of the onset of gametogenesis. Spawning was
synchronized between both sexes from June to August. Results suggest that the optimum time of year to harvest urchin gonads
would be between May and June when gonads were maximal in size but not full of gametes. This species may not provide optimal
conditions for an industrial scale fishery, as sea urchins occurring in high density had small gonads and those producing
larger volume or more marketable gonad tissue occurred in low densities where harvesting costs would exceed profit. 相似文献
