a patch decreases logarithmically with the increasing number of competitors sharing that resource patch. The model predicts that individuals will initially flock to higher-quality patches until the costs of crowding bring the benefits of exploiting them into line with the benefits of being the only individual on a lesser-quality resource patch. After this point is reached, individuals will alternate between exploiting higher- and lower-quality patches so that the average benefit for all individuals in both patches is the same. This model is ideal
