High intraspecific variability in the functional niche of a predator is associated with ontogenetic shift and individual specialization

High intraspecific variability in the functional niche of a predator is associated with ontogenetic shift and individual specialization

Abstract Investigations on the functional niche of organisms have primarily focused on differences among species and tended to neglect the potential effects of intraspecific variability despite the fact that its potential ecological and evolutionary importance is now widely recognized. In this study...
