Understanding spatial distributions: negative density-dependence in prey causes predators to trade-off prey quantity with quality

Negative density-dependence is generally studied within a single trophic level, thereby neglecting its effect on higher trophic levels. The ‘functional response’ couples a predator's intake rate to prey density. Most widespread is a type II functional response, where intake rate increases asymp...
