Intraspecific competition for resources is strongly influenced by the size of competitors. In this study, we estimated the size‐scaling of the foraging capacities on zooplankton and benthic macroinvertebrates in Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ) to link size‐dependent performance to effects from co...
