- Q7098953 abstract "The optimality model is a tool used to evaluate the effects of costs and benefits on animal behavior in the natural world. This evaluation allows researchers to make predictions about an animal’s optimal behavior. Optimality modeling is the modeling aspect of optimization theory. It allows for the visualization of the costs and benefits that influence the outcome of a decision and contributes to an understanding of animal adaptations.Optimal behavior is defined as an action that maximizes the difference between the costs and benefits of that decision. Three primary variables are used in the optimality model: decisions, currency, and constraints. Decision involves evolutionary considerations of the costs and benefits of their actions. Currency is defined as the variable that is intended to be maximized (ex. food per unit of energy expenditure). It is the driving factor behind an action and usually involves food or other items essential to an animal’s survival. Constraints refer to the limitations placed on behavior, such as time and energy used to conduct that behavior.Optimality models are used to predict optimal behavior (ex. time spent foraging). To make predictions about optimal behavior, cost-benefit graphs are used to visualize the optimality model (see Fig 1). Optimality occurs at the point in which the difference between benefits and costs for obtaining a currency via a particular behavior is maximized.".
