Citations in the corpus
- Diet quality and prey selectivity correlate with life histories and predation regime in Trinidadian guppies (2011, background): “Being larger is a big advantage when food is scarce and competition is intense, but of little advantage when food is abundant and competition is lax (Bashey 2008).”
- Do Eco-Evo Feedbacks Help Us Understand Nature? Answers From Studies of the Trinidadian Guppy (2014, background): “Experimental and theoretical studies show that larger offspring size is an adaptation to a food-limited environment (Bashey, 2008; Jorgensen et al., 2011).”
