Seed predation behaviors

Seed predation occurs after seed dispersal has occurred and serves to reduce the number of seeds by simulating seed consumption by predators.

BehaviorDescription
Functional response seed predation behaviorSimulates functional response seed predation, where the number of predators is a function of the amount of food that has been consumed.
Neighborhood seed predation behaviorSimulates seed predation as a function of tree neighborhood and masting events.
