Evidence for optimal behavior of predators from parallel field investigations in two distinct wolf-prey systems

Christina M. Prokopenko, Katrien A. Kingdon, Daniel L. J. Dupont, Brendan M. Carswell, Taylor Naaykens, John Prokopenko, Julie W. Turner, Sana Zabihi‐Seissan, Eric Vander Wal

The paper investigates wolf foraging behavior in two systems with different prey availability, finding that wolves in less abundant systems increase niche breadth, territory size, and time spent at kills, supporting optimal foraging theory.
