Behavioral mechanisms underlying trait-mediated survival in a coral reef fish Open
Fast growth and large size generally increase survivorship in organisms with indeterminate growth. These traits frequently covary, but where they do not, trade-offs often exist in the behavioral choices of organisms. Juvenile bicolor damse…
