In frogs, this […]
Niche Partitioning Based on Temperature Gradients in Estuarine Cyprinodontiform Fishes (Families Fundulidae, Cyprinodontidae, and Poeciliidae)
Meeting Abstract P1-75 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:30 – 17:30 Niche Partitioning Based on Temperature Gradients in Estuarine Cyprinodontiform Fishes (Families: Fundulidae, Cyprinodontidae, and Poeciliidae) ROBERTS, AS*; GOFORTH , RR; Purdue University ; Purdue University rober231@purdue.edu Fish communities are often composed of related species that vie for similar resources, thus facing competitive exclusion. In many cases, resource and […]
