		Fitting Functional Responses in 1- and 2-Prey Systems // Easy
		application of Bayesian inference for functional responses via
		'brms'. This package allows to fit various FR models for
		single- and multi-prey experiments by providing nonlinear
		prediction functions for 'brms'. It uses dynamical prediction
		models to correct for prey depletion. The 'brms' framework
		facilitates statistical modeling and enables users to
		conveniently incorporate covariates such as temperature
		gradients, experimental treatment variables, or random effects
		that account for grouping in experimental units. Default 'brms'
		functions make it easy to perform model checking, model
		comparison and hypothesis testing. Potential statistical issues
		with data from feeding trials, such as overdispersion, can be
		resolved by effortlessly switching between likelihood
		functions. This package, together with its tutorials, should
		provide students and researchers with a comprehensive and
		integrated statistical framework for easily testing their
		hypotheses on trophic interactions. References: Rosenbaum and
