Q4.7. The Eastern Kingbird hunts by catching flying insects in mid-air, an approach which requires impressive and energetic acrobatic maneuvers. What type of functional response do you expect the Kingbird will have to increasing insect prey abundance? Type I Type II Type III

Step 1
Step 1: The Eastern Kingbird's hunting behavior suggests that it is a generalist predator, meaning it is likely to exhibit a Type II functional response, where the rate of prey consumption increases linearly with prey density until reaching a plateau. Show more…

Qbs E.
What is characteristic of a Type II predator functional response to prey abundance? Predators become satiated at high prey densities There is no increase in consumption with increasing prey density Predators switch to the most common prey type At low prey densities, predators eat a larger fraction of prey None of the choices

Which predator functional response is indicative of a predator that learns to recognize and find new types of food when the food items become more common; but can also become satiated when prey are super abundant?
