Highlights • We analyze the evolution of ontogenetic niche shifts under non-equilibrium dynamics.• We assume a secondary resource that is only available for large individuals.• Specialization on this resource is hardly possible in case of small-amplitude cycles.• Large-amplitude cycles allow for specialization on the secondary resource.
