Shifty salamanders: transient trophic polymorphism and cannibalism within natural populations of larval ambystomatid salamanders

INTRODUCTION: Many species of ambystomatid salamanders are dependent upon highly variable temporary wetlands for larval development. High larval densities may prompt the expression of a distinct head morphology that may facilitate cannibalism. However, few studies have characterized structural canni...
