The interaction between different factors in socially feeding species may be complex, even in those feeding in single-species flocks. In mixed flocks, the situation may be further

Whichever form it takes, patchiness in food resources has important consequences for the foraging strategies we should expect predators to adopt (e.g. Pyke .. 1977, Krebs 1978, 1979, Krebs an

Locating rich feeding areas, however, is only one problem facing hungry birds. Earthworms occur at different depths in the soil, in dif

Effects of flock size and composition may be another reason why plovers did not follow the predictions of our simple optimal-diet model exactly

Since the effect on individual feeding efficiency depends on the size and species composition of the flock, we might expect birds to be selective about the flocks they join or re

In the preceding chapters, it has also become clear that the arrival of gulls in a flock and their kleptoparasitic activity has a complex effect on time budgeting, feeding efficiency and flock dynamics in both lapwings and golden plovers.
