Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Description

Controlled predation experiments in field or laboratory enclosures with known numbers of alternative prey species to test hypotheses about selective predation and measure predation rates. Compares prey disappearance between predator and control treatments.

Typical Equipment

• enclosures
• mesh screens
• plexiglass chambers
• cobbles

Output Measurements

• prey mortality rates
• predation selectivity
• instantaneous mortality rates
