Increased searching and handling effort in tall swards lead to a Type IV functional response in small grazing herbivores
Understanding the functional response of species is important in comprehending the species’ population dynamics and the functioning of multi-species assemblages. A Type II functional response, where instantaneous intake rate increases asymptotically with sward biomass, is thought to be common in gra...
