Animal Behaviour Video Lecture Series: • Animal Behaviour Video...
This episode introduces the diverse range of animals classified as 'Central Placed Foragers' and how changes in local environmental conditions can impact the survival of those species. We focus on meat ants in the NSW Central Tablelands of Australia. Topics include the adaptive benefits of constructing a central refuge (burrow, nest), costs associated with limits on dispersal, how animals decide where to place their central refuge, and what happens if that placement proves to be ill chosen in the face of environmental change. The episode links video episodes 'Behaviour of ectotherms' and 'habitat selection'. For additional language options:
