This is a theoretical study of animal foraging behavior that               would examine the effect of patchy distribution of prey on                      foraging.  An almost optimal foraging strategy will be used to                  determine the rate of locating prey as it changes under different               prey densities.  The changes in prey distribution when patches                  are exploited by an optimal forager, the rate of finding prey by                revisiting patches, will also be determined.  The optimal and                   almost-optimal strategies will be found and the rates of finding                prey that they would achieve for a particular version of Oaten's                general stochastic model of optimal foraging will be calculated.                The form of the functional response determines whether a certain                version of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model is stable.                    The effect of patch exploitation is important in determining the                value of maintaining feeding territories and of partitioning                    resources.
