Individuals in food webs: the relationships between trophic position, omnivory and among-individual diet variation.

Oecologia - 1 May 2015

Svanbäck Richard, Quevedo Mario, Olsson Jens, Eklöv Peter

Abstract excerpt

Among-individual diet variation is common in natural populations and may occur at any trophic level within a food web. Yet, little is known about its variation among trophic levels and how such variation could affect phenotypic divergence within populations. In this study we investigate the relationships between trophic position (the population's range and average) and among-individual diet variation. We test for...
