Working together boosts foraging efficiency, which means that when animals forage cooperatively, each individual's net energy gain _________________.

The correct answer is: Increases and Improves

• Foraging refers to the various actions performed by predators during hunting
• It is also called predation cycle involving detection, approach, attacking and consumption
• It is an indicator for evaluating individual performance when animals are present in groups
• During hunting, each individual (predator) exhibits its strategy based on its capacity to capture the prey
• As a result, each step in the cycle will be performed individually and the energy expense is reduced
