Inferring parameters of prey switching in a 1 predator–2 prey plankton system with a linear preference tradeoff by Maini, PK, Piltz, S, Porter, M, Harhanen, L

“…We thus conclude that prey switching is a possible mechanistic explanation for the observed ciliate–algae dynamics in Lake Constance in spring, but that these data cannot distinguish between the details of prey switching that are encoded in these different models. …”

Models for adaptive feeding and population dynamics in plankton by Piltz, S

“…We compare the model simulations with data from Lake Constance on the German-Swiss-Austrian border and suggest possible mechanistic explanations for cycles in plankton concentrations in spring.…”
