Question 5 1 pts Optimality models to explain animal behavior rely primarily on calculating payoffs for various types of interactions and equalizing the payoffs calculating payoffs for various types of interactions and looking for maximum payoffs calculating benefits and costs of a behavior and maximizing benefit -cost calculating benefits and costs of a behavior and equalizing benefit and cost

Answer 1

Question

5. Optimal models are used as a tool to evaluate the calculate the benefit and cost of different organism behaviour. This model is used in behaviour ecology model and help to predict behaviour when the animal search food. Along with evaluation of cost , benefit of animal behaviour , this model is use to maximize the benefit-cost of the animal behaviour. Hence, option c is correct.

6. This graph is showing marginal value theorem used in ecology. According to marginal value theorom, there is a linear correlation between travel time and patch , when the travel time is long, the patch time spent is high. Therefore, when travel time is short, patch time would decrease. Hence, option d is correct.
