This article investigates some aspects of the shape of the functional responses of consumers that utilize two resources. Adaptive variation in consumption behavior is shown to have a major effect on the relationship between amount of resource available and its rate of consumption by an average consumer individual. The effects of adaptive variation are dependent on the nutritional status of the two resources. If the resources are linearly substitutable, increases in the density of resource i will usually increase the quantity, functional response on i divided by density of i, and increases in the density of resource j will decrease this quantity. The result is that the functional response to resource i will generally decrease with the density of resource j, and will increase faster than it would otherwise have increased with the density of resource i. If resources are nonsubstitutable, an adaptive functional response to resource i will increase with the density of resource j, and it will increase more slowly with the density of resource i than it would have without adaptive change. If resources are both complementary and substitutable, the functional response will exhibit ranges of smooth change separated by rapid jumps between values, and different ranges of resource densities will result in a functional response with the characteristics of linearly substitutable or of nonsubstitutable resources. Adaptive functional response shape is dependent upon the tradeoff involved in raising each functional response. These results have implications for the types of indirect interactions that occur between resources as the result of a common consumer's functional response. They also suggest that the adaptive response of competing consumers to each other will differ depending on the nutritional status of the resources for which they are competing. Implications of these findings for consumer growth isocline shape and several other issues are explored. | |||

This article investigates some aspects of the shape of the functional responses of consumers that utilize two resources. Adaptive variation in consumption behavior is shown to have a major effect on the relationship between amount of resource available and its rate of consumption by an average consumer individual. The effects of adaptive variation are dependent on the nutritional status of the two resources. If the resources are linearly substitutable, increases in the density of resource i will usually increase the quantity, functional response on i divided by density of i, and increases in the density of resource j will decrease this quantity. The result is that the functional response to resource i will generally decrease with the density of resource j, and will increase faster than it would otherwise have increased with the density of resource i. If resources are nonsubstitutable, an adaptive functional response to resource i will increase with the density of resource j, and it will increase more slowly with the density of resource i than it would have without adaptive change. If resources are both complementary and substitutable, the functional response will exhibit ranges of smooth change separated by rapid jumps between values, and different ranges of resource densities will result in a functional response with the characteristics of linearly substitutable or of nonsubstitutable resources. Adaptive functional response shape is dependent upon the tradeoff involved in raising each functional response. These results have implications for the types of indirect interactions that occur between resources as the result of a common consumer's functional response. They also suggest that the adaptive response of competing consumers to each other will differ depending on the nutritional status of the resources for which they are competing. Implications of these findings for consumer growth isocline shape and several other issues are explored.
