Within‐population variation in dietary traits: implications for vulnerability and impact of imperiled keystone predators
Abstract Within a population of apex predators, differences among individuals can influence both their ecological impact and their vulnerability to threatening processes. Our field studies on a large monitor lizard (Varanus panoptes) in the Australian wet–dry tropics show that diets shift seasonally...
