abstract: '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:
