Document Summary
Bioc54 lecture 9: vampire bats need to feed all the time, their metabolism is very high. If it doesn"t map on to what you predicted then you go back to the drawing board and you see what you missed or what you did incorrectly, adjust your model and test again: 3. It makes sense to forage in group bc when the prey runs off then another individual can eat the prey, so they cooperate so everyone can eventually get something. In the end you are calories per unit of time gained as a measure for survival/reproduction. If you looked to see what the individuals get, you find that the optimal size seems to be 4. It does cost in being involved in food storing, it"s a trade-off so only going to evolve if necessary. If a predator comes along and eats the batesian mimic, then it learns that they aren"t poisonous, and are ruining it for the poisonous specie.
