摘要: Studies of temperate and tropical land birds reveal that the resource-demanding activities life cycle generally are mutually exclusive in an individual (Miller 1963, Farner 1964, Fogden 1972). Presumably food (calories, specific organic or inorganic nutrients, time to gather them) is limiting, temporal spacing has evolved response high requirements each event. Thus activity timed occur when environmental conditions favorable interference from other minimal.
