Competition for Food between Two Intertidal Starfish Species and its Effect on Body Size and Feeding
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Two predaceous intertidal starfish that overlap broadly with respect to food, space, and time were found to compete for a limited food supply in the San Juan Islands, Washington State, suggesting that competition is widespread and that the species are generally in competitive equilibrium.
