Individual Specialization in a Generalist Apex Predator: The Leopard Seal
ABSTRACT Apex predators are typically considered dietary generalists, which often masks individual variability. However, individual specialization—consistent differences among individuals in resource use or ecological role—is common in apex predators. In some species, only a few specialized individu...
