Modelling the effects of prey size and distribution on prey capture rates of two sympatric marine predators.

Modelling the effects of prey size and distribution on prey capture rates of two sympatric marine predators.

Understanding how prey capture rates are influenced by feeding ecology and environmental conditions is fundamental to assessing anthropogenic impacts on marine higher predators. We compared how prey capture rates varied in relation to prey size, prey patch distribution and prey density for two speci...
