  • Boundary Bay Tradeoffs

    439 Words  | 2 Pages

    Tradeoffs are a frequent occurrence in Nature. They describe the compromise between two optimal but frequently incompatible traits for an organism. Andrea Pomeroy and her team applied this concept of tradeoffs to the western sandpipers, Calidris mauri, of British Columbia Canada, with the trade off of their ability to forage for food against the costs of potential predation. The main idea examined by Pomeroy was to study the spatial usage (The measure of how intensely a site is used for foraging by the sandpipers) at Boundary Bay, to determine how the birds chose their stop over sites during migration based on the tradeoffs between food abundance and predation risks.
