Assuming that birds select the nearby patch providing highest intake rate caused the model to reproduce all but one pattern, whereas assuming birds select the highest-intake patch over a large radius produced an unrealistic distribution of movement distances.
This year, cat intake at the San Francisco municipal shelter is down, and our analysis indicates it's likely due to targeting ZIP codes that don't have a vet and have had the highest intake rate for years. .
Interestingly, Daniel et al. (1989) stated that: (1) to achieve the highest intake rates, the geometry of the entire feeding apparatus must be tuned, and (2) that isometric size increase of the feeding apparatus increases the energy intake rate at all nectar concentrations.
Children are more vulnerable because of their greater contact with their environment (hand-mouth behavior), their higher intake rate and the development of their neural system.
In addition, we hypothesized that the dominant bird would take control over the best quality patches (Bautista et al. 1995; Monaghan and Metcalfe 1985) and consequently reach a higher intake rate than the subordinate (Dolman 1995).
This is because perchlorate is not metabolized or retained by the body to any significant extent, and the higher intake rate (on a body-weight basis) of infants is likely to be balanced by a higher excretion rate (on a body-weight basis).
Our understanding of the strong impact of gastropods, by means of high intake rates of mangrove products and differential consumption of propagules, has changed only recently.
Conversely, the larger-sized black bears, which maintain high intake rates by focusing on patches with high fruit density [14], [48], might avoid patches already harvested by sun bears because of diminished fruit density (exploitation competition).
Thus, although UV reflectance could be beneficial in terms of hunting success when prey are scarce or when crab spiders prey on pollinators other than honeybees, our study provides little evidence that UV reflectance has evolved because UV reflecting spiders have higher intake rates.
However, absorption rates are not clearly defined at high intake rates; an example cited by Wignarajah et al.
