Population ecology: Group living and hungry lions
Tim Coulson1
Abstract
Ecologists have necessarily had to simplify matters in looking at predator–prey dynamics. Study of a situation in which predator and prey live in groups reveals that a key process was previously overlooked.
Eating is a necessity of animal life. So you might expect that individuals would do everything possible to maximize their food intake.
