Zusammenfassung

Jedes Tier muss regelmäßig Nahrung zu sich nehmen, um die energetischen Grundlagen für Wachstum, Aufrechterhaltung der Grundfunktionen und Reproduktion zu gewährleisten. Daher kommt der Suche, Auswahl, Verteidigung und Aufnahme von Nahrung im Verhaltensrepertoire der meisten Arten eine wichtige Funktion beim tagtäglichen Überleben zu. Dabei muss ein Individuum zunächst ein geeignetes Habitat wählen und darin nach Futter suchen. Bei der Wahl des Futterplatzes muss dabei das Prädationsrisiko einerseits und die Intensität der Nahrungskonkurrenz durch Artgenossen andererseits berücksichtigt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang muss ein Tier auch entscheiden, ob es seine Nahrungsressourcen gegebenenfalls gegen Konkurrenten verteidigt. Wenn ein geeigneter Futterplatz gefunden ist, stellt sich die Frage, wie lange dieser genutzt werden sollte, bevor ein neuer gesucht wird. Beim Fressen an einer Stelle muss ein Tier außerdem entscheiden, welche der verfügbaren Nahrungseinheiten es auswählt und tatsächlich nutzt. In diesem Zusammenhang kommt es zu zahlreichen Interaktionen zwischen Tieren und Pflanzen, mit weit reichenden evolutiven Konsequenzen. Ob eine Art selbst als Räuber und/oder Beute in der Nahrungspyramide agiert, hat zudem eine Vielzahl von Konsequenzen für ihr jeweiliges Sozialverhalten (→ Kapitel 6.3).
