Assumptions required to obtain predation rates using dilution techniques.

Assumptions we adopted when designing our experimental approach. These assumptions are either explicitly stated in the original papers (e.g., [23, 26, 49]) or mathematically required (‘Assumption…’) for the dilution approach to be soundly used. Each assumption is also shown with its corresponding outcomes (‘Entails…’) and necessary preconditions (‘Valid…’).本研究在设计实验方案时所采用的各项假设。这些假设要么已在原始文献中明确载明（例如文献[23,26,49]），要么是稀释方法得以稳妥应用所需满足的数学层面必要条件（标注为"Assumption……"）。每项假设均同步附带了其对应的推导结果（标注为"Entails……"）与必要前提条件（标注为"Valid……"）。
