State‐dependent behavioural theory for assessing the fitness consequences of anthropogenic disturbance on capital and income breeders

Summary Anthropogenic disturbance is of increasing concern for wildlife populations, necessitating the development of models that link behavioural changes at the individual level with biologically meaningful changes at the population level. We developed a general framework for estimating the fitness consequences of disturbance that affects foraging behaviour using state‐dependent behavioural theory implemented by Stochastic Dynamic Programming...
