摘要: When a foraging notonecif bug extracts the juices from prey item, it will, at some point, stop extracting and begin to search for another item. Behavioral ecologists have found that predators, like my hypothetical notonectid, will extract high proportion of available resources given prey, taking long time do it, when are scarce, but same predator less give up more quickly if abundant.
