Foraging decisions of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) are shaped by energy constraints and predation risk

Abstract Foraging herbivores have to trade-off between energy requirements and predator avoidance. We aimed to study the relative roles of these factors in beavers (Castor canadensis) when foraging on land. We hypothesized that beavers were able to assess the risk of predation by using two main cues...
