Primes¶
- Nonlinearity
- Biology and ecology uses nonlinearity for logistic population growth (Verhulst), predator-prey dynamics (Lotka-Volterra), enzyme kinetics (Michaelis-Menten), Holling's saturating functional responses
This source(Originating treatment of the Type I / II / III functional-response classification for predator consumption rate as a function of prey density; the founding catalogue of saturation forms in ecological dynamics. Type II is structurally Michaelis-Menten; Type III adds sigmoidal threshold behaviour.)

- Rate Limiting
- In ecology it is the functional response — a predator's consumption rate of prey saturates as prey density grows, limited by handling time — the natural-system version, with the constraint internal to the consumer rather than externally imposed.
This sourceDefines the functional response: a predator's prey-consumption rate saturates as prey density rises, limited by handling time — the natural-system rate limit internal to the consumer.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Holling's abstract defines the functional response as individual predators' prey consumption changing with prey density, but says nothing of saturation, handling time, or an internal constraint; only the paywalled preview was readable.
“One of the basic components, termed the functional response, was a response of the consumption of prey by individual predators to changes of prey density, and it appeared to be at least theoretically important in population regulation:”

Domain-specific¶
- Functional Response
- The dependent variable is thus per-consumer intake, not total prey deaths or the number of consumers.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
