    This study proposes a discrete model linking animal movement and predator-prey encounters to exploitation models. It identifies the "area of discovery" as a predictable coefficient based on physical properties, improving ecological modeling.

    Area of Science:

    • Ecology
    • Mathematical Biology
    • Population Dynamics

    Background:

    • Predator-prey systems are commonly modeled using exploitation models.
    • These models accurately mimic experimental data but often lack clear links to individual animal behavior.
    • Understanding the relationship between individual movement and population dynamics is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple discrete model connecting animal movement, predator-prey encounters, and exploitation model dynamics.
    • To elucidate the role of the "area of discovery" in predator-prey interactions.
    • To provide a more behaviorally relevant framework for ecological modeling.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple discrete mathematical model was developed.
    • The model incorporates non-random search behavior of predators and prey.

  • The concept of "area of discovery" was analyzed as a predictable coefficient.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model successfully links individual animal behavior to system-level dynamics.
    • The "area of discovery" was identified as a quantifiable coefficient derived from physical properties.
    • The model accounts for non-random habitat preferences in experimental systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The discrete model offers a clearer understanding of predator-prey system dynamics by integrating animal behavior.
    • The "area of discovery" is a key, measurable parameter in these systems.
    • This approach enhances the interpretability of exploitation models in ecological research.
