“…Or how does a predator's angle of approach affect the timing of flight (Cooper 1997)? Far fewer studies have asked how long prey should hide (Scarratt & Godin 1992;Dill & Fraser 1997;Martín & Ló pez 1999). Animals in hiding must balance the benefit of predator avoidance against several potential costs.…”

“…The longer an animal stays hidden in a hole or crevice, the smaller the chances that the predator will still be there on emergence, but the larger also the energetic costs. This scenario has given rise to a number of studies looking at how long predators wait for prey to emerge (Johansson & Englund 1995), how emergence time of prey is a¡ected by its nutritional state (Dill & Gillett 1991;Koivula et al 1995) and how the emergence strategy of prey is in£uenced by £uctu-ating resources in the environment (Dill & Fraser 1997). Another factor that can have an important in£uence on emergence times of prey is body size (Dill & Gillett 1991).…”

Theory predicts that staying in a refuge has bene¢ts in terms of predator avoidance and costs in terms of lost feeding opportunities. In this study, we investigated how the relative importance of these costs and bene¢ts changes with increasing body length. This is of particular interest in animals such as ¢sh, which show continuous growth throughout their lives. Our results suggest that larger ¢sh are subject to lower predation risks and are less a¡ected by food deprivation than small ¢sh, with ¢sh decreasing their responses to food-deprivation treatments more strongly with increasing body length than to predation treatments. This may explain our observation that large ¢sh emerged later from a refuge than small ones and spent shorter times outside the refuge. The key role of di¡erential responses to food deprivation was further illustrated by the ¢nding that the relative weight loss of individual ¢sh was strongly correlated with a reduction in hiding time even in the absence of body length di¡erences. The importance of inter-individual di¡erences in metabolic rates for the decision-making behaviour of animals is discussed.

“…this diversity in morphology and use of habitats has led to a corresponding diversification in feeding mechanisms (amaral & nonato, 1996). polychaetes have been well studied taxonomically (Fauvel, 1923(Fauvel, , 1927hartman, 1959a, 1959b, 1963a, 1963b, 1965, 1968, 1969day, 1967a, 1967buebelacker & Johnson, 1984;blake et al, 1995, 1996amaral & nonato, 1996, among others), whereas ecologically they are still poorly understood (feeding behaviors: brenchley, 1976;Shaffer, 1979;brenchley & tidball, 1980;Mettam, 1980;dauer et al, 1981;Mattson, 1981;bell & coen, 1982;dauer, 1983, 1985, 1991pleijel, 1983;bell, 1985;peckol & baxter, 1986;Vreeland & lasker, 1989;dauer & ewing, 1991;life history: Mayer et al, 1995;Scaps, 1995;dill & Fraser, 1997). Some of their adaptations are well known, such as in the family Sabellidae whose members use their tentacular crown for filter-feeding, and the family Spionidae whose members capture food particles by keeping their palps suspended in the water.…”

AbstrActaspects of feeding, such as food capture and ingestion, as well as mobility of the polychaetes Eurythoe complanata, Marphysa formosa and Diopatra aciculata, from São Sebastião channel (São Sebastião, state of São paulo) were observed in laboratory conditions. Eurythoe complanata, a carnivorous species, fed exclusively on pieces of fish with the aid of strong muscular retractable lips, and detected the presence of food by chemical stimuli. Diopatra aciculata, an omnivorous species, captured and ingested different kinds of food with the aid of its jaws, generating a flow of water through its tube by which it detects the presence of food and oxygenates its gills. Marphysa formosa also used its jaws to bite and lacerate food. these species showed greater or lesser degrees of intolerance to light.Keywords: foraging, mobility, aciculata, polychaeta, annelida.resumo Forrageamento e mobilidade em Polychaeta alguns aspectos da atividade alimentar, tais como a captura e ingestão de alimento, bem como a mobilidade dos poliquetas Eurythoe complanata, Marphysa formosa e Diopatra aciculata, procedentes do canal de São Sebastião (São Sebastião, Sp), foram observados em laboratório. Eurythoe complanata, carnívora, alimentou-se apenas de pedaços de peixe, utilizando os lábios retráteis fortemente musculares e detectando a presença do alimento através de estímulos químicos. Diopatra aciculata, onívora, capturou (com o auxílio das maxilas) e ingeriu os diferentes tipos de alimentos oferecidos, promovendo um fluxo de água para dentro do tubo, por meio do qual o animal detecta a presença de alimento e oxigena as brânquias. Marphysa formosa também utilizou as maxilas para morder ou rasgar o alimento. durante as observações, foi constatado que estes poliquetas, em maior ou menor grau, apresentam intolerância à luminosidade.
