Food webs are intricate systems produced by evolving networks of community members and trophic interactions. This study investigates dietary shifts of trout in response to changes in foraging competition. Both the Little Cataloochee and Correll Branch watersheds in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have supported competing populations of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Trout were sampled from both systems before removal of rainbow trout from Little Cataloochee Creek. Geometric morphometric measurements were recorded for 15 landmarks before specimens were dissected to determine sex and extract stomach contents. Prey items were identified to taxonomic order and dietary compositions were compa...
