Quantity over quality? Prey-field characteristics influence the foraging decisions of little penguins (Eudyptula minor)

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Quantifying prey characteristics is important for understanding the foraging behaviour of predators, which ultimately influence the structure and function of entire ecosystems. However, information available on prey is often at magnitudes which cannot be
