Changing distribution of flocking sea ducks as non-regenerating food resources are depleted
2013
Marine Ecology Progress Series
Sutherland & Anderson (1993; J Theor Biol 160:223-230) considered how the distribution of consumers should change as prey resources fixed at the start of a period of exploitation are depleted by foraging activities. Their model predicts that consumers initially aggregate on a single or a few patches offering the highest feeding rate. As the prey density in those patches is reduced, the feeding rate declines to the level attainable at the next best patches, which are then also exploited.
