Optimal patch time allocation for time-limited foragers
E Wajnberg, P Bernhard, F Hamelin… - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2006 - Springer
Abstract The Charnov Marginal Value Theorem (MVT) predicts the optimal foraging duration
of animals exploiting patches of resources. The predictions of this model have been verified
for various animal species. However, the model is based on several assumptions that are
likely too simplistic. One of these assumptions is that animals are living forever (ie, infinite
horizon). Using a simple dynamic programming model, we tested the importance of this
assumption by analysing the optimal strategy for time-limited foragers. We found that, for …
