Trophic Specialization

Trophic Specialization is a biological phenomenon in which a species or population evolves morphological, physiological, or behavioral adaptations that enable it to exploit a narrow range of food resources, thereby distinguishing it from generalist foragers within the broader category of dietary strategies.
