“…Animals may choose less profitable habitats to avoid predators, or take the risk of exposing themselves to predators if their energy need is large enough (Rennie et al., ; Vijayan, Morris, & McLaren, ). In size‐structured populations, for example fish, foraging capacities as well as predation risk vary with individual size (ten Brink, Mazumdar, Huddart, Persson, & Cameron, ; Byström & Garcia‐Berthou, ; Ohlberger et al., ). Predation vulnerability and foraging efficiencies are both size dependent and will affect how organisms chose between habitats (Diehl & Eklöv, ; Werner, Gilliam, Hall, & Mittelbach, ).…”
