| Title | Predator functional response changed by induced defenses in prey |
| Creator | Hammill, Edd Petchey, Owen L. Anholt, Bradley R. |
| Description | Functional responses play a central role in the nature and stability of predator‐prey population dynamics. Here we investigate how induced defenses affect predator functional responses. In experimental communities, prey (Paramecium) expressed two previously undocumented inducible defenses—a speed reduction and a width increase—in response to nonlethal exposure to predatory Stenostomum. Nonlethal exposure also changed the shape of the predator’s functional response from Type II to Type III,... |
