Genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity: Causes of morphological and dietary variation in Eurasian perch (2006, background): “With these fluctuations in density, both the habitat and diet choice of perch changed as a response to differences in habitat-specific resource densities (Persson et al., 2000; Svanbäck and Persson, 2004).”
Evolution of Ecological Niche Breadth (2017, background): “Experimental studies have supported theoretical predictions, with increases in competition associated with diversification in resource use among individuals (e.g., Martin & Pfennig 2009, Svanbäck & Bolnick 2007, Svanbäck & Persson 2004).”
Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, background): “In a 9-year study on free-ranging populations of perch (Perca fluviatilis), Svänback and Persson (2004) found that individual diet specialization and the niche breadth of the population were highest when the adult population density was high (but see also Schindler et al. 1997).”
Intraspecific competition drives increased resource use diversity within a natural population (2007, background): “By extension, these diet changes mean that resource competition may modify the degree of diet overlap among individuals (Svanbäck & Persson 2004; Svanbäck & Bolnick 2005).”
The ecological causes of individual specialisation. (2011, background): “Review and Synthesis The causes of individual specialisation 951 and the degree of individual specialisation (Svanbäck & Persson 2004; Svanbäck et al. 2008; Svanbäck & Persson 2009; Frederich et al. 2010 ).”
Habitat structure, feeding mode and morphological reversibility: factors influencing phenotypic plasticity in perch (2005, background): “These fluctuations have in turn led to variation in resources, and with that a variation in the width of the diet choice of the population (Persson et al., 2000; Svanbäck and Persson, 2004).”
