Habitat-Specific Foraging of Prothonotary Warblers: Deducing Habitat Quality [PDF]

open access: yesThe Condor, 2005
Abstract Foraging behavior often reflects food availability in predictable ways. For example, in habitats where food availability is high, predators should attack prey more often and move more slowly than in habitats where food availability is low.
