Stearns, Stephen C.
Resumen
Educação Superior::Ciências Biológicas::Ecologia Presents part of the course, Principles of evolution, ecology and behavior, where Professor Stearns shows several ways to examine the behaviors of organisms when they forage or hunt for food or mates. Explains how this behaviors become more complex in higher organisms, such as primates and whales, which can hunt in groups. Foragers and hunters have been shown to examine the marginal cost and marginal benefit of continuing an action and then adjust their behaviors accordingly
