Digest: Better constructing the future than choosing a new habitat
1Apicultural State Institute, University of Hohenheim, 70599, Stuttgart, Germany.
Abstract:
What strategy should an individual follow in a heterogeneous environment when its phenotype is not optimized for its current environment: make changes to the environment (habitat construction), move to a different place (habitat choice), or both? Scheiner et al. used an individual-based model to investigate the interaction of habitat choice and habitat construction. In most situations, habitat construction was superior to either habitat selection or a mixed strategy.
