Niche partitioning of avian predators in northern grasslands amended by biosolids
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many food webs are affected by bottom‐up nutrient addition, as additional biomass or productivity at a given trophic level can support more consumers. In turn, when prey are abundant, predators may converge on the same diets rather than partitioning food
