Prey-switching does not protect a generalist turtle from bioenergetic consequences when its preferred food is scarce
BACKGROUND: Optimal foraging theory explains how animals make foraging decisions based on the availability, nutritional content, and handling times of different food types. Generalists solve this problem by consuming a variety of food types, and alter their diets with relative ease. Specialists eat...
