RosenzweigForaging is fundamental to animal survival and reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter of finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find and consume resources to succeed, and they make extraordinary efforts to do so. For instance, pythons rarely eat, but when they do, their meals are large-as much as 60 percent larger than their own bodies. The snake's digestive system is normally dormant, but during digestion metabolic rates can increase fortyfold. A python digesting quietly on the forest floor has the metabolic rate of thoroughbred in a dead heatAnimalsFoodecology, ecological, behavior, behavioral, evolution, evolutionary, biology, sciences, scientific, biological, imperative, foraging, foragers, cognitive science, anthropology, conservation, economics, neurobiology, technology, cognition, population, community, mammals, amphibians, food, eating, survival, neuroethology, energy storage, social interactions, diversity, dynamics, free distribution, provisioning, animals, wildlife.AnimalsFood.591.5/3WT 2750SEPArvkStephens David W.1955-1519153Brown Joel S(Joel Steven),1959-1519154Ydenberg Ronald C1519155MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782454603321Foraging3757105UNINA
