A new approach to graphical analysis of feeding strategy from stomach contents data—modification of the Costello (1990) method
Abstract
A modification of the graphical Costello method is proposed for the analysis of stomach contents data. The new method allows prey importance, feeding strategy and the interand intra‐individual components of niche width to be explored using graphical presentation. The analysis is based on a two‐dimensional representation of prey‐specific abundance and frequency of occurrence of the different prey types in the diet. The paper describes the new method and the parameters therein, and also present some examples of the utilization of the method. The method may be particularly well‐suited for the examination of predictions made from optimal foraging, competition and niche theories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
