Predictions Ideal free distribution



figure 1


for patches unequal innate values, or intrinsic values, can still apply same distribution principle. however, predicted number of individuals in each patch differ, amount of resources in each patch unequal. still reach nash equilibrium despite fact there unequal number of competitors in each patch. equilibrium demonstrated red line in figure 1, feeding rate same individuals though there 5 individuals in patch , 8 individuals in patch b. figure, can infer first 6 foragers settle in patch b due greater intrinsic quality, increased competition causes lesser quality patch more beneficial seventh individual. figure depicting habitat matching effect, through ratio of individuals @ patches corresponds ratio of resources available in patches.
