Data from: Diel movement patterns influence daily variation in wolf kill rates on moose
Variation in predation can have important consequences for predators and prey, but little is known about associated mechanisms. Diel interactions between predators and prey are commonly assumed to be influenced by movement speeds of both predators and prey individuals, sensu the ideal gas model, but...

Variation in predation can have important consequences for predators and prey, but little is known about associated mechanisms.
