Summary of the characteristics of the two types of predator-prey behavior

Type I Type II
Characteristic frequency Multiple of the spiral
wave frequency
A spread of frequencies associated with global dynamics
with a general shift to frequencies lower than the spiral
wave frequency
Oscillation amplitude Small Large
Underlying wave pattern Nearly repetitive Non-repetitive
Phase space region occupied Regions I only Both Regions I and II
Tendency towards cw rotation in phase space Mild Strong
