Prey Selection
The feeding behavior of O. Rubescens has been observed to deviate significantly from an optimal foraging model. In contract to the standard model of maximizing caloric energy per unit time, O. Rubescens has been observed to favor prey up to one tenth as calorically dense as other prey options, when the less calorically dense option has more efficiently extractable lipids. This research suggests that lipid digestibility plays a key role in prey selection, and that O. Rubescens tend to favor prey with more easily extractable lipids.
