Individual hunting behaviour and prey specialisation in the house cat Felis catus: Implications for conservation and management (2015, background): “…about sources of food by parents (Kuo, 1930; Woo et al., 2008), when independent animals discover new sources of prey or hunting locations (Cook et al., 2006), or if declines in prey numbers force animals to exploit different components in the remaining prey base (Svanbäck and Bolnick, 2005, 2007).”
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).”
Diversity in trophic interactions of green sea turtles Chelonia mydas on a relatively pristine coastal foraging ground (2011, positive): “…and consistent variation in behaviors and diets among individuals of a population, including those of the same age/sex class (e.g. Estes et al. 2003, Bearhop et al. 2004, Svanback & Bolnick 2005, 2007, Vander Zanden et al. 2010, Matich et al. 2011; see Bolnick et al. 2003 for a review).”
Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “Increased population density, such as that which results from density compensation in novel habitats, has been shown to prompt expanded niche use in both theoretical (Svanbäck & Bolnick, 2005) and empirical studies (Bolnick, 2001; Bolnick et al., 2007; Svanbäck & Bolnick, 2007).”
The ecological causes of individual specialisation. (2011, background): “Svanbäck & Bolnick (2007) manipulated population density of stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in small (9 m”
