Fruit fly larvae are either ‘rovers’ or ‘sitters.’ rovers will move to a new location after feeding, while sitters will stay put. the behavior is mostly innate. using the optimal foraging model, describe the conditions under which it would be advantageous to a rover and under which it would be advantageous to be a sitter. briefly explain why.

An Optimal foraging model is described as an ecological model which predicts the behavior of the animal while searching food. Obtaining food provides energy, but searching for food also uses lot of energy and time.

In order to maximize fitness, an animal chooses a foraging strategy that provides energy for the lowest cost, and utilizing the total energy gained. OFT helps predict the best strategy that an animal can use to achieve this goal.
