The degree of individual specialization in resource use differs widely among wild
populations where individuals range from fully generalized to highly specialized. This …

Individual trophic specialisation (ITS) has many important consequences for ecological and
evolutionary processes. An old hypothesis highlighting the relevance of ITS is the niche …

Plastic debris in marine environments and its impact on wildlife species is becoming a
problem of increasing concern. In pinnipeds, entanglements commonly consist of loops …

Individual specialization, which describes whether populations are comprised of dietary
generalists or specialists, has profound ecological and evolutionary implications. However …

Estimating the degree of individual specialisation is likely to be sensitive to the methods
used, as they record individuals' resource use over different time-periods. We combined …

Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) sustain a large-scale fishery in the southwest Atlantic
Ocean (SWA), but information about its foraging ecology in this region is still limited. Here …

Mercury, a toxic metal released by various human activities, exerts environmental stress
through its bioaccumulation and biomagnification, particularly in marine habitats. South …

This study assessed ontogenetic dietary changes in male South American fur seals
Arctocephalus australis in northern and central Patagonia (Argentina) using stable isotope …

While sexual segregation is expected in highly dimorphic species, the local environment is a
major factor driving the degree of resource partitioning within a population. Sexual and …

Individual variation in habitat and resource use has been reported for many top predators.
This variation becomes important when comparing individuals taking into account sex, size …
