The Role of Behaviour and Morphology in the Selection of Prey by Pikeassume that optimal choice is brought about by some behavioural process. For example the basic prey model as used by Werner and Hall (1974), assumes that animals are able to rank prey by their profitabilities and to make decisions about which prey type to include in the diet. There is no implication

This is not to say that OFT has been accepted without reservation, nor that the predictive successes of the theory are unambiguous (Gray 1986, Pierce and Ollason 1987). Two major complaints about OFT studies

Ecological studies provide the basis for the determination of the function of animal structures (van der Klaauw 1951; Bock and Von Wahlert 1965; Dullemeijer 1974). If it can be quantitatively shown how anatomical changes affect fitness, then this would be an important contribution towards the unde

Others avoid herbivores by producing toxic chemical compounds which are distasteful. Although many of these characters may serve a variety of functions, their importance in deterring herbivores is generally obvious.

For example, the nutritional status of potential forage species is constantly fluctuating and herbivores must somehow track these changes. In addition, unlike carnivores which meet nearly all their nutritional requirements in one meal, herbivores must select diets to meet a
