Abstract

Animals that are able to defend their nest against predators will stay close to their nest while foraging. Using a theoretical model, we find that animals that search for food for their nestlings have smaller territories as the risk of nest predation during their absence increases. If animals are also capable of chasing predators, they will have even smaller territories. However, these effects disappear with increasing food availability.
