Optimal foraging strategy of central place foragers in a rapidly changing environment
In this research project, I aim to determine the foraging efficiency of a central place forager and measure how this relates to among- and within-individual variation in foraging specialisation. I will also investigate how foraging strategies change in function of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and predict the effects of a changing environment on individual foraging efficiency.
