Abstract: Abstract Evaluating the patterns and generality of ontogenetic dietary shifts (ODSs) contributes to understanding prey–predator interactions and food web dynamics. Numerous studies have focused on predators that target distinctively lower trophic‐level organisms. However, the ODS… read more here.

Abstract: Feeding is a complex process that involves an integrated response of multiple functional systems. Animals evolve phenotypic integration of complex morphological traits to covary and maximize performance of feeding behaviors. Specialization, such as feeding on… read more here.
