prey selection  

DEFINITION

  • Prey selection is defined in two ways: (1) as exhibited by predator populations that kill a prey species disproportionate to its availability (Backwell et al. 1998;Hayward and Kerley 2005) or (2) as exhibited by individual predators that select prey disproportionate to the mean selection exhibited by their populations (Pettorelli et al.2011;Elbroch and Wittmer 2013).
