Adaptive experimental design produces superior and more efficient estimates of predator functional response. by Nikos E Papanikolaou, Hayden Moffat, Argyro Fantinou, Dionysios P Perdikis, Michael Bode, Christopher Drovandi

“…Ecological dynamics are strongly influenced by the relationship between prey density and predator feeding behavior-that is, the predatory functional response. A useful understanding of this relationship requires us to distinguish between competing models of the functional response, and to robustly estimate the model parameters. …”
