Evidence of niche partitioning under ontogenetic influences among three morphologically similar siluriformes in small subtropical streams.
Ontogenetic influences in patterns of niche breadth and feeding overlap were investigated in three species of Siluriformes (Heptapterus sp., Rhamdia quelen and Trichomycterus poikilos) aiming at understanding the species coexistence.
