Data from: Predator-dependent functional response in wolves: from food limitation to surplus killing ...
The functional response of a predator describes the change in per capita kill rate to changes in prey density. This response can be influenced by predator densities, giving a predator-dependent functional response. In social carnivores which defend a territory, kill rates also depend on the individu...
