PROCEDUREPrevious studies suggest that when food is approximately evenly dispersed in anenvironment, solitary foraging yields a higher energy return per unit time (or less time toacquire a set amount optimal foraging predictions Kathryn M.

What’s the Question?. Question: Is there any patterns . of group size and foraging attempts made by vultures and crows. . Also, is the . amount of time the birds spent foraging and walking . Learning . Objectives: Subsistence Unit. 1. Identify the subsistence patterns found in human societies. 2. Identify the cultural characteristics of a society that might be inferred from knowing the society’s subsistence patterns. Joint interest in sea turtle conservation identified at the 8. th.
