Local interactions between predators and prey call into question commonly used functional responses
2009
Ecological Modelling
Commonly used functional response models (Holling's type I and type II models) assume that the encounter rate of a predator increases linearly with prey density, provided that the predator is searching for prey. In other other words, aN (a is the baseline encounter rate and N is prey density) describes the encounter rate. This study examined whether the models are adequate when predators and prey interact locally by using a spatially explicit individual based model because local interactions
