Quantifying niche partitioning and multichannel feeding among tree squirrels

Quantifying resource partitioning is central to community and food web ecology and of increasing interest in an era of rapid global change disrupting biotic interactions. Multichannel feeding – consuming resources from both green and brown food webs – can be a stabilizing force in communities. While multichannel feeding has been well-documented in invertebrate and aquatic systems, it has been relatively under-studied in terrestrial vertebrate...
