Small-Mammal Foraging Behavior: Mechanisms for Coexistence and Implication for Population Dynamics

We investigated predation risk and competition as they affected small-mammal foraging behavior in semiarid north-central Chile. Giving-up densities (GUD) of seeds were used to measure the foraging activity of the three most common small mammals at the site: degu (Octodon degus), Darwin's leaf-e...
