“…However, contrary to our expectation, the highest individual specialisation in the M. forestii diet was found in stands with low macrophyte biomass. This seems likely to be related to the increased intraspecific competition intensified by the lower resource availability that is probably found in less complex habitats (Araújo et al, 2010;Cobain et al, 2019;Kovalenko et al, 2012). During the dry season, when we carried out the sampling, intraspecific competition tends to intensify since resource availability is lower due to the contraction of ecosystems (Correa & Winemiller, 2014;Costa-Pereira, Tavares, Camargo, & Araújo, 2017;Fitzgerald, Winemiller, Sabaj Pérez, & Sousa, 2016;Gomes, Bulla, Agostinho, Vasconcelos, & Miranda, 2012).…”
