Benefits of Group Foraging Depend on Prey Type in a Small Marine Predator, the Little Penguin.
Group foraging provides predators with advantages in over-powering prey larger than themselves or in aggregating small prey for efficient exploitation. For group-living predatory species, cooperative hunting strategies provide inclusive fitness benefits. However, for colonial-breeding predators, the...
