Armadillidium Vulgare

AbstractForaging behaviour of Armadillidium vulgare was observed in laboratory arenas in which the spatial distribution of patches of high quality food (powdered dicotyledonous leaf litter) was varied within a background of low quality food (powdered grass leaf litter). The hypotheses that the foraging behaviour and foraging path of A. vulgare would be influenced by food quality and the patchiness of high quality food resources were tested. More time was spent in high quality food patches than in low quality food backgrounds than expected by chance in all heterogeneity treatments, but an increasingly higher percentage of time was spent in low quality food as the high quality food became more clumped in space. More time was spent searching, but less time was spent feeding in low quality food backgrounds than in high quality food patches in all the treatments. Walking speed was found to be lower in high quality food patches than in low quality food backgrounds and this was not affected by treatment. Turning frequency and turning angle were found to be higher in high quality food patches than in low quality backgrounds. Turning frequency in low quality food backgrounds decreased as the high quality food became more clumped in space, whereas turning angle in high quality food patches significantly increased in the patchy, but then decreased again in the clumped treatment. The effects of varying the spatial heterogeneity of high quality foods on the trade-off between costs of searching and intake benefits for saprophages are discussed in relation to predictions from optimal foraging theory for circumstances when intake rate maximisation is affected by the constraint of limited nutrients.

Simply food is the first food brand that was launched in September 2013 by “Orange International” company. Simply food's aim is to provide a high quality food round the corner for young students and business professionals who are seeking a high quality meal during their lunch break or their evening outing. Simply Food team has many prospects to work upon in terms of the management of the stores in addition to expansion and creation of other simply brands. Issues facing management are which simply sub-brands to launch that would be integrated into the simply brand and how to expand simply stores in Egypt and the region. Furthermore, what is the proper marketing strategy given the limited budget available that would help strengthening the simply brand? What is the proper regional expansion strategy that would enable the simply brand to the fast food destination for customers in the region?
