Table 1.

Baseline values for the behaviours

Behaviour α (kJ) C RM (kJ)a λ β b
1. Forage 1 80 45 0.8 2.5 × 10−3 × x p
2. Forage 2 60 45 0.8 1.25 × 10−3 × x p
3. Rest 0 45 1 2.5 × 10−4
4. Decrease 0 45–y save 1 5 × 10−2/3.7 × 10−4
5. Increase 0 45–y save 1 5 × 10−2/3.7 × 10−4
6. Constant hypoth 0 45–y save 1 5 × 10−2/3.7 × 10−4

The values are given per day rather than per 5-min period, since this is more intuitive and comparable with literature

aMetabolism when foraging is linearly mass-dependent

bPredation risk is an accelerating mass-dependent cost. For behaviours 4–6, the first β value is for day-time hypothermia, the second for night-time hypothermia
