To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, 1978; Ewert and Kehl 1978; Ewert et at. , 1979; Ingle and McKinley 1978), velocity (Ewert 1968, 1970; Ewert et al. , 1979) and movement pattern (Borchers et al. , 1978; Ingle 1975) of artificial prey stimuli are important parameters in eliciting feeding behavior. Since no biological relationship exists between the natural food items and the dummy prey stimuli used, data that are the product of predator encounters with artificial prey lack ecological significance. In Section I, I showed that g...reen treefrogs (My la ainerea) select natural prey according to the behavior patterns displayed by the prey, and the proportion of time devoted to each prey-specific behavior (also see Freed 1980&) . Prey length was also an important selection parameter, but its value as a cue may be overshadowed by prey activity. The following hypotheses were formed based on experimental observations: (a) preferred prey items elicit larger turns during orientation by H. ainerea than prey items of lower preference, (b) the time involved 30 31 for the predator to recognize and attack prey, as well as the latency period separating these two events, varies inversely with prey rank in the frog's diet, and (c) highly preferred prey elicit predator recognition at greater distances than lower ranked prey.
