Description
This research focused on evaluating: 1) evidence of spatial and temporal structuring of forage populations and predator consumption along environmental gradients and, 2) the effects of variability in abundance of multiple forage taxa on predator consumption patterns. The results of this study will help fill knowledge gaps within Chesapeake Bay forage science as well as inform future management decisions.
