PREDATION • Predation - consumption of live prey by an organism, predators attach several prey individuals over their lives.
PREDATION • Predation - consumption of live prey by an organism, predators attach several prey individuals over their lives. • Grazers - attack many prey individuals but only consume parts of the prey, and attacks are rarely lethal. • Parasites - consume only parts of prey, rarely lethal, attack only one or a few prey over parasite’s lifetime.

Predators have minor effect on prey populations if: • Predators take prey individuals with the lowest fitness. (e.g. muskrat)
Predators have minor effect on prey populations if: • Predators take prey individuals with the lowest fitness. (e.g. muskrat) • Prey may compensate for predation by increased survival and reproduction of survivors. (e.g. coyote)
Predators have minor effect on prey populations if: • Predators take prey individuals with the lowest fitness. (e.g. muskrat) • Prey may compensate for predation by increased survival and reproduction of survivors. (e.g. coyote) • The effects of one species of predator are replaceable by another predator species. (e.g. wolves, bear, moose)
Prey Effects on Predators Kills per predator FUNCTIONAL PREDATOR RESPONSE - Changes in predator consumption rates associated with changes in prey density.
Prey Effects on Predators NUMERIC PREDATOR RESPONSE - Changes in predator density in response to prey density.
