What is Size-Dependent Predator-Prey Dynamics about?

This study derives a functional response function that incorporates both predator and prey size, specifically examining the benthic isopod Saduria entomon feeding on Monoporeia affinis amphipods. The findings indicate that the attack rate of S. entomon exhibits a sigmoid (type III) functional response, with maximum attack rates dependent on the size of both predator and prey, suggesting size-refuges for certain prey sizes. Additionally, a field-based consumption model was developed to validate the functiona
