Intraspecific Variation 1. Traits such as skill at foraging and investment in anti predator defense may vary among individuals within a species population. 2. Traits such as the choice of what sort of habitat to utilize can also vary among individuals of a population Here the effects of both types of variation are examined This intraspecific variation has implications for both fitness strategies within a population and food web dynamicsIntraspecific Variation 1.
