Risky business for a juvenile marine predator? Testing the influence of foraging strategies on size and growth rate under natural conditions

Mechanisms driving selection of body size and growth rate in wild marine vertebrates are poorly understood, thus limiting knowledge of their fitness costs at ecological, physiological and genetic scales. Here, we indirectly tested whether selection for size-related traits of juvenile sharks that inh...
