Explain how prey switching and refuge availability may promote type III functional response in predators.
Refuge availability is a process by which the prey gets safeguarded from the predators because they find a safe place from where they can evade the predators. Due to this the availability of the prey is reduced to the predators and as a result the predators tend to find other prey species as a result the prey switching happens. In type III functional response, the predators increase their searc ... See the full answer
