Abstract.
Avian foraging activity during daytime peaks after dawn and before dusk. The relative importance of each period of intensive foraging on the accumulated intake varies by species, individual, and day. We studied the relative importance of each period from direct observation of radio-tagged Common Cranes (Grus grus) during winter at a site of stopover and wintering in Spain. After a mathematical model was fitted, accumulated intake showed a typical anti-sigmoid shape, with greatest…

Food Availability But Not Sex Determines Morning Foraging Area Size in the Great Bustard Otis tarda, the Most Sexually Size-Dimorphic Bird Species

Results obtained from a short-term study of foraging area size in the Great Bustard Otis tarda do not preclude an effect of sexual size dimorphism on MFA size and FI of Great Bustards over longer periods but show that the body size effect on foraging behaviour may be smaller than predicted only by SSD.

Dominance and the dynamics of phenotype-limited distribution in common cranes
- Environmental ScienceBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 1997
The results suggest that the dynamics that led to a truncated phenotype-limited distribution were determined by social dominance and food abundance, with dominant cranes shifting to a new zone to maintain their high intake levels and subordinates changing more frequently whenever their daily intake did not reach the minimum metabolic requirements.

It is suggested that the characteristic daily feeding pattern of small birds is not due to digestive constraints but is greatly influenced by environmental variability.

Length of feeding day and body weight of great tits in a single- and a two-predator environment

The presence of the two predators increases unpredictability in feeding conditions for great tits by shortening their feeding day and increasing body reserves at dusk, and dominants carried significantly greater reserves than subordinates in the area inhabited by two predators.

The results suggest that potentially energetically costly behaviors, such as song production, are sensitive to short-term changes in energy reserves, and that both state and behavioral predictions can be successfully integrated to provide tests of state-based models of behavior.
