Within an unknown time period, deer mice develop metacestode infections and eventually are preyed upon by foxes, the definitive host.
At the end of the experiment, the fish and the vegetation were removed and left over prey items of the 2 classes were scored.
The parameter represents the losses of prey not due to predation, and the product ac describes the asymptote of the hyperbolic response.
Both species are highly suitable hosts for the parasite, and form the preferred prey for red foxes.
Biological differences mirror differences in climate; the acutely developed senses of many species have adapted either for capturing prey or eluding predators, and so forth.
It also produces a matrix with consumers (lizard species) as rows and proportional utilizations (pi) of prey by volume for each prey type as columns.
Cats may acquire infection only when they begin to eat prey.
Foraging on prey that are modified by parasites.
