Diet shift induced rapid evolution of size and function in a predatory bird.

Oecologia - 1 Nov 2014

Tornberg Risto, Liuska Laura, Rytkönen Seppo, Mutanen Marko, Välimäki Panu

Abstract excerpt

A predator's body size correlates with its prey size. Change in the diet may call for changes in the hunting mode and traits determining hunting success. We explored long-term trends in sternum size and shape in the northern goshawk by applying geometric morphometrics. Tetraonids, the primary pre...
