      abstract     = {In an effort to assess the role of adaptive foraging
                      behaviour to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity as a
                      factor determining the success of the colony, we used
                      single-colony individual-based spatial models for a visual
                      foraging, the Great Blue Heron and a tactile foraging bird,
                      the Wood Stork. The model followed simultaneously daily
                      activities of individuals, their spatial movements, foraging
                      efficiency, bioenergetics and growth of the nestlings during
                      a nesting season. For each colony we used two scenarios; in
                      the first, that depicted a normal nesting season, the extent
                      and distribution of feeding sites led to successful
                      reproduction for both species. In the second, we simulated
                      increased precipitation regimes resulting in reversals in
                      water depth (i.e. increases in depth during the dry season
                      when water levels are normally falling). The results reveal
                      that Wood Storks were significantly more adversely affected
                      than Great Blue Herons by the prey dilution caused by the
                      reversals in water depth. In the latter scenario where
                      resources became scarce, resource predictability decreased.
                      The foraging birds that foraged in groups exhibited low
                      foraging success, resulting in poor reproductive
                      performance. This result was more pronounced in the case of
                      storks that foraged in groups than for herons foraging in
                      groups. Concluding, increased variance in precipitation
                      regimes is more likely to affect tactile rather than visual
                      foraging bird species. Further, in harsh climatic conditions
                      (increased precipitation and water level regimes) solitary
                      foraging was more beneficial for wading birds than group
                      foraging.},
