Feeding habits variability of Lutjanus synagris and Lutjanus griseus in the littoral of Campeche, Mexico: an approach of food web trophic interactions between two snapper species
ABSTRACT The study of the feeding habits variability (spatial and temporal scales) allows us to evaluate the trophic interactions between species, thus, the short and long-term effects of the removal of different species by the presence of different phenomena. In this study, we carried out stable is...
