Sources of prey availability data alter interpretation of outputs from prey choice null networks (2024)
Journal Article
Cuff, J. P., Tercel, M. P., Windsor, F. M., Hawthorne, B. S., Hambäck, P. A., Bell, J. R., …Vaughan, I. P. (2024). Sources of prey availability data alter interpretation of outputs from prey choice null networks. Ecological Entomology, https://doi.org/10.1111/een.13315Null models provide a valuable baseline against which fundamental ecological hypotheses can be tested and foraging choices that cannot be explained by neutral processes or sampling biases can be highlighted. In this way, null models can advance our u... Read More about Sources of prey availability data alter interpretation of outputs from prey choice null networks.
