| Abstract: | A vectorized version of the method of stochastic dynamic programming is used to demonstrate that behaviour observed in Parus major by Krebs et al. (1977) is more consistent with the hypothesis that animals compromise between time and energy in foraging than with the hypothesis that they maximize their rate of energy gain. |
