| Résumé : | A regular pattern is shown in the size structure (which reflects changes in the size of the prey consumed), with a maximum size in late summer. There also appear trends towards increasing surface activity and nocturnalism from spring to autumn. The combined effects of changes in prey size and in prey type can explain the seasonal trend in size and suggest a close dependence of the trophic-temporal niche structure on prey availability. -from Author |
