Foraging strategy and predator avoidance behaviour: an intraspecific approach

Foraging strategy and predator avoidance behaviour: an intraspecific approach

Abstract

[FR] Nous avons étudié, chez Calidris alpina, les relations entre le comportement d'évitement des prédaterus (vigilance visuelle et regroupement) et la technique de chasse afin de tester des prédictions relatives à l'effect de la technique de chasse sur de tels comportements. Dans l'hypothèse de la vigilance visuelle, les individus ayant une technique de chasse tactile et ceux ayant une technique de chasse visuelle (les uns et les autres prospectant de façon continue) ne présentent de différence pour aucune variable liée au comportement de vigilance visuelle. Dans l'hypothèse du regroupement, les individus chassant à vue auront tendance à former des vols plus petits que les chasseurs au toucher. Il n'y a pas de différence entre les individus, pour les deux stratégies d'alimentation, en ce qui concerne le taux de vigilance, le temps de vigilance ou la durée moyenne de vigilance visuelle. Cependant, dans le cas du regroupement, les chasseurs à vue diffèrent des chasseurs au toucher pour la taille du vol de chasse. Les relations entre le comportement de regroupement et la stratégie de chasse dont discutées. Les patrons au niveau intraspécifique sont les mêmes qu'au niveau interspécifique.

[EN] Relationships between predator avoidance behaviour (scanning and flocking) and foraging were studied in Calidris alpina, to test predictions regarding the effect of foraging techniques on such behaviours. The scanning hypothesis predicts that individuals with a tactile hunting technique and individuals with a visual hunting technique (both continuous searchers) do not differ in any variable related to scanning behaviour. The flocking hypothesis predicts that visually hunting individuals witl tend to form smaller flocks than tactile-foraging individuals. The two continuous feeding strategies did not differ among individuals in vigilance rate, nor in vigilance time or mean scan duration. However, with respect to flocking behaviour, visual foragers differed from tactile foragers in foraging flock size. The relationships between flocking behaviour and foraging strategy are discussed. The pattern found at the intraspecific level are the same as those found at interspecific level.

This study was carried out in collaboration with the Agriculture and Fisheries Department of the Catatonian Generalitat and the Natural Park of Delta del Ebro. Financial support was provided by a CSIC-CAM grant and by Caja Madrid. Laura provided considerable assistance.
