Data from: Seasonal shifts in feeding patterns: individual and population realized specialization in a high Arctic fish ...
Species with a broad and flexible diet may be at an advantage in a rapidly changing environment such as in today’s Arctic ecosystems. Polar cod (Boreogadus saida), an abundant and ecologically important circumpolar Arctic fish, is often described as a zooplankton generalist feeder, which suggests th...
