ABSTRACT: We studied the foraging processes of wildebeest using an advection-diffusion equation. We equipped the model with data collected between 1999 and 2007 from the Serengeti ecosystem from 18 GPS-collared wildebeest. Results analysis show that wildebeest foraging behavior can be explained by advective and diffusive parameters in a heterogeneous habitat like the Serengeti ecosystem.
