Phenotypic variation and vulnerability to predation in juvenile bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus).

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2004

Chipps Steven R, Dunbar Jessica A, Wahl David H

Abstract excerpt

Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) are known to diversify into two forms specialized for foraging on either limnetic or littoral prey. Because juvenile bluegills seek vegetative cover in the presence of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) predators, natural selection should favor the litt...
