Adaptive trait utility in the feeding apparatus of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) : Relationships between feeding morphology and maximum and minimum prey size in the diet of whitefish

Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations diverge into morphs that differ in body size along a benthic-limnetic axis and throughout the depth of the water column. This process is assumedly initiated by the presence of northern pike (Esox lucius) and is followed by morphological adaptations to avai...
