Are type 3 functional responses just statistical apparitions?
EcosphereType 3 (sigmoidal) functional responses can protect rare prey from predation, but such functional responses are not often described. It is also not clear that factors that are hypothesized to promote type 3 functional responses, such as predator–prey ...

Generalist bird exhibits site‐dependent resource selection
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Quantifying resource selection (an organism's disproportionate use of available resources) is essential to infer habitat requirements of a species, develop management recommendations, predict species responses to changing conditions, and improve our ...

Ecosphere, 2021 Models of the trophic needs and impacts of mobile predators in food web networks typically do not consider interactions between prey dispersion and threshold prey densities needed for profitable foraging. As a result, the biomass of predators that can be

Considerations When Applying the Consumer Functional Response Measured Under Artificial Conditions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Since its creation, considerable effort has been given to improving the utility of the consumer functional response. To date, the majority of efforts have focused on improving mathematical formulation in order to include additional ecological processes ...
