Inferring parameters of prey switching in a 1 predator–2 prey plankton system with a linear preference tradeoff

We construct two ordinary-differential-equation models of a predator feeding adaptively on two prey types, and we evaluate the models’ ability to fit data on freshwater plankton. We model the predator’s switch from one prey to the other in two different ways: (i) smooth switching using a hyperbolic...
