Alternative competition-induced digestive strategies yield equal growth, but constrain compensatory growth in red-eyed treefrog larvae

ABSTRACT Compensatory growth is well documented across taxa and provides a fitness advantage to animals who would otherwise reach a smaller reproductive size. We investigated the role of competition‐induced gut plasticity in facilitating a compensatory response in red‐eyed treefrog larvae. We reared...
