Spatial segregation contrasting dietary overlap: niche partitioning of two sympatric alcids during shifting resource availability

J Gulka, RA Ronconi, GK Davoren - Marine Biology, 2019 - Springer
Interspecific interactions help to shape individual-and population-level dynamics. As such,
similar species breeding sympatrically are expected to have a high potential for competition …

Spatial heterogeneity and individual variation in diet of an aquatic top predator

KE Zerba, JP Collins - Ecology, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
Since habitats are generally spatially heterogeneous, and important component of niche
variation may be determined by the relationship between individual variation in feeding …

Atelinae adaptations: behavioral strategies and ecological constraints

KB Strier - American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
Comparisons between the four genera that make up the Atelinae reveal two distinct

An experimental evaluation of foraging decisions in urban and natural forest populations of Anolis lizards

ZA Chejanovski, KJ Avilés-Rodríguez, O Lapiedra… - Urban …, 2017 - Springer
Foraging decisions reflect a trade-off between the benefits of acquiring food and the costs of
movement. Changes in the biotic and abiotic environment associated with urbanization can …

What drives variation in habitat use by Anolis lizards: habitat availability or selectivity?

MA Johnson, R Kirby, S Wang… - Canadian Journal of …, 2006 - cdnsciencepub.com
Geographic variation in habitat availability may drive geographic variation in a species'
habitat use; alternatively, species adapted to particular habitat characteristics may use a …

Habitat partitioning and morphological differentiation: the Southeast Asian Draco lizards and Caribbean Anolis lizards compared

TJ Ord, DA Klomp - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
Sympatric species that initially overlap in resource use are expected to partition the
environment in ways that will minimize interspecific competition. This shift in resource use …

Patterns of habitat and invertebrate diet overlap between tiger salamanders and ducks in prairie potholes

GA Benoy, TD Nudds, E Dunlop - Hydrobiologia, 2002 - Springer
During the breeding season, migratory waterfowl are attracted to wetlands characterized by
high macroinvertebrate availability. Many of these prairie potholes are fishless and this …

Effect of species interactions on landscape abundance patterns

LB Buckley, J Roughgarden - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2005 - JSTOR
