Document Summary
Foraging sequence(failure at one of these is bene t for prey) Defensive sequence (any delay to pursuit is good for escape) Inhale -----receptor site for epithelial cells don"t match. Search time and handling depend on characteristic of both predator and prey. The disk experiment : normal disks- almost no handling time involved , second phase is adding a thumb tack on the disk (increased handling time) Found all 4 in both expeirments , all disks in rst experiment and in second phase did not found as much in d=8 and d=16. Hollings disc equation: the # of orey items taken per unit time depends on their abundance and handling time. Search time is minimal but limited because of time it takes to ingest it. Handling time is important in decision processes in what they eat. One patch and one predator - shows behaviur of one predator on one patch , prey is often distributed in many patches.
