The interaction of intraspecific competition and habitat on individual diet specialization: a near range-wide examination of sea otters.

Abstract excerpt

The quantification of individuality is a common research theme in the fields of population, community, and evolutionary ecology. The potential for individuality to arise is likely context-dependent, and the influence of habitat characteristics on its prevalence has received less attention than intraspecific competition. We examined individual diet specialization in 16 sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations from...
