In this paper we introduce a formal method for the derivation of a predator's functional response from a system of fast state transitions of the prey or predator on a time scale during which the total prey and predator densities remain constant. Such derivation permits an explicit interpretation of the structure and parameters of the functional response in terms of individual behaviour. The same method is also used here to derive the corresponding numerical response of the predator as well as of the prey.

不同的捕食者－捕食者状态之间的相互作用：一种推导功能和数字响应的方法。

在本文中，我们介绍了一种形式的方法，该方法可以在一定的时间范围内从总的猎物和食肉动物密度保持恒定的时间尺度上，从猎物或食肉动物的快速状态转变系统中推导食肉动物的功能响应。这种推导允许根据个体行为来明确解释功能响应的结构和参数。在此还使用相同的方法来推导捕食者和猎物的相应数值响应。
