FIG. 47.7 Effect of predators on the outcome of competition. Newt predators in ponds prefer to eat bigger tadpoles that compete well for food, enabling smaller tadpoles that are poorer competitors to survive to adulthood. Data from P. J. Morin, 1981, “Predatory Salamanders Reverse Outcome of Competition Among Three Species of Anuran Tadpoles,” Science 212:1284–
