Does intraspecific size variation in a predator affect its diet diversity and top-down control of prey?
It has long been known that intraspecific variation impacts evolutionary processes, but only recently have its potential ecological effects received much attention. Theoretical models predict that genetic or phenotypic variance within species can alter interspecific interactions, and experiments hav...
