Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jfb12410-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p id="jfb12410-para-0001">Feeding behaviour and diet of <italic>Bryconamericus microcephalus</italic> differed between canopy conditions. At the open canopy site, a behavioural modification, grazing on algae, was observed. This was also reflected in gut content analysis and suggests behavioural plasticity in response to resource availability.</p> </abstract>
