Explanation / Answer

1) generalist. When specialist's diet becomes very scarce, a specialist can sometimes switch to being a generalist.

2) generalist. when prey density increases, the predator spends less and time searching for prey and more and more time handling the prey. generalist predators have more prey options than specialist predator, so more handling time for generalist.

3) unproductive. In unproductive patches, predator remain for longer periods.
