behavioral responses of elk avoiding areas where wolves were present (Ripple 2014). Fortin et al. conducted a study to explain the mechanics of how wolves affect net primary production not only by preying upon the elk, but also altering the elks’ foraging behavior and distribution in the park. They found that in general, elk avoided areas where wolves were present but that there was a trade off between the need to occupy certain types of cover and the need to avoid certain landscape…

culture first began on Earth, all societies were organized at the band level as foraging societies. Over time, various cultures became increasingly more complex while others remained bands” (“Cultural Anthropology Lecture 2, 2016: p1).

However women were gatherers generally had easy access through food such as plants and limited animals, but it was a steady source for the group to survive. The way of life was…

develop unique behaviours that help them survive or optimize their responses to get the maximum amount of reward. By discovering these mechanisms, it is possible to create programs that may help repopulate species that are diminishing or having trouble foraging, or relocate species that may have had their habitats affected by…
