Intraspecific variation in feeding strategies of Galapagos sea lions: A case of trophic specialization.
The trophic behavior of marine predators varies according to the level of competition to which they are exposed. In general, populations that inhabit lower productivity systems face a strong intraspecific competition, which contributes to the development of different foraging strategies to maximize...
