How patch size and refuge availability change interaction strength and population dynamics: a combined individual- and population-based modeling experiment
Knowledge on how functional responses (a measurement of feeding interaction strength) are affected by patch size and habitat complexity (represented by refuge availability) is crucial for understanding food-web stability and subsequently biodiversity. Due to their laborious character, it is almost i...
