| Title | Effects of Density and Size Structure on Omnivorous Trophic Cascades |
| Creator | Benkendorf, Donald J. |
| Description | Omnivores generally dampen trophic cascades by feeding at multiple trophic levels. However, there are many factors that may invalidate this broad generalization. For example, intraspecific size variation can affect an omnivorous species’ ability to control lower trophic levels; likewise resource switching and changes in proportional resource utilization may accompany variation in omnivore body size and density. Because omnivory is ubiquitous, understanding how size structure and density... |
