We analyze how the foraging currencies "rate" (net energy gainper unit time) and "efficiency" (net energy gain per unit energyexpenditure) relate to the workload adopted by a forager. Weconsider feeding (gathering food for immediate consumption)as opposed to provisioning and investigate the influence oftime and energy constraints. In our model the forager may varythe level of energy expenditure while foraging; increased expenditureincreases the rate of gain, but with diminishing returns. Weshow that rate maximizing requires a higher rate of energy expenditurethan efficiency-maximizing, and we compare the performance ofrate- and efficiency-maximizing tactics when the feeding strategyis (1) to maximize the total net gain while foraging; (2) tomaximize the total net daily gain; or (3) to meet a requirement.Generally, the rate-maximizing tactic only performs best whentime is limiting; otherwise, a lighter workload and slower feedingrate perform better. Under the restricted conditions analyzedhere, no general statement can be made about the best tacticwhen the strategy is to meet a requirement. These results mayhelp explain several instances of "submaximal" foraging describedin the literature. 相似文献

The Rfp-Y region lies on the same microchromosome as the B-F/B-L region of the B complex, yet in contrast to the latter it is poorly characterised. To date it has been shown to contain at least two class I alpha-chain ( Y-F) genes, a class II B-chain gene and a C-type lectin-like gene. We describe the sequencing and analysis of some 20 kb of the Rfp-Y region, and identify several new genes. These include two novel C-type lectin-like genes ( Y-Lec1 and Y-Lec2) that differ strongly from the previously described C-type lectin-like gene found in the Rfp-Y region. We describe a complete genomic sequence of a class I alpha-chain ( Y-F) gene and its promoter from the Rfp-Y region. The predicted cDNA from this gene has high homology to the previously reported Y-F cDNAs. The promoter contains an altered enhancer A element. This portion of the Rfp-Y region also contains a truncated class II B-chain ( Y-LB) gene, as well as a large chicken repeat 1 (CR1) element. 相似文献
