Background: Scavenger guilds, composed of a variety of species, co-existing in the same habitat, are responsible for biomass transformation throughout the food web. Niche partitioning among them can manifest in different feeding strategies, e.g. during carcass feeding. In the bentho-pelagic realm of...
