Experimental Evidence Shows the Importance of Behavioural Plasticity and Body Size under Competition in Waterfowl

When differently sized species feed on the same resources, interference competition may occur, which may negatively affect their food intake rate. It is expected that competition between species also alters behaviour and feeding patch selection. To assess these changes in behaviour and patch selecti...
