Personality, foraging behavior and specialization: integrating behavioral and food web ecology at the individual level

BJ Toscano, NJ Gownaris, SM Heerhartz, CJ Monaco - Oecologia, 2016 - Springer
Behavioral traits and diet were traditionally thought to be highly plastic within individuals.
This view was espoused in the widespread use of optimality models, which broadly predict …

The adaptive capacity of lake food webs: from individuals to ecosystems

BC McMeans, KS McCann, TD Tunney… - Ecological …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library

Factors affecting individual foraging specialization and temporal diet stability across the range of a large “generalist” apex predator

AE Rosenblatt, JC Nifong, MR Heithaus, FJ Mazzotti… - Oecologia, 2015 - Springer
Individual niche specialization (INS) is increasingly recognized as an important component

The dimensionality of individual niche variation

T Ingram, R Costa‐Pereira, MS Araújo - Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The inherently multidimensional nature of the niche has not yet been integrated into the
investigation of individual niche specialization within populations. We propose a framework …
