Preference for cannibalism and ontogenetic constraints in competitive ability of piscivorous top predators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Occurrence of cannibalism and inferior competitive ability of predators compared to their prey have been suggested to promote coexistence in size-structured intraguild predation (IGP) systems.

Dietary overlap and selectivity among mountain steppe river fish in the United States and Mongolia
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Lotic systems in mountain regions have historically provided secure habitat for native fish populations because of their relative isolation from human settlement and lack of upstream disturbances.

Neural activity patterns in response to interspecific and intraspecific variation in mating calls in the túngara frog. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 During mate choice, individuals must classify potential mates according to species identity and relative attractiveness. In many species, females do so by evaluating variation in the signals produced by males.
