Sloppy predators
We predict predator spreading if:
transmission after death from parasitism is limited
prey and/or predator behavior lead to increased transmission after
predation
Outstanding questions:
- Is sloppy-predator spreading more common in aquatic systems?
- Are certain parasite taxa, transition modes, or infection sites more
prone to sloppy-predator spreading than others?
- Are scavengers and cannibals more or less likely than grazers to
experience sloppy predator-spreading?
