Description

Historical introduction : on widely foraging for Kalahari lizards-- Movement patterns in lizards : measurement, modality, and behavioral correlates -- Morphology, performance, and foraging mode -- Physiological correlates of lizard foraging mode -- Lizard energetics and the sit-and-wait vs. wide-foraging paradigm -- Feeding ecology in the natural world -- Why is intraspecific niche partitioning more common in snakes than in lizards? -- Herbivory and foraging mode in lizards -- Lizard chemical senses, chemosensory behavior, and foraging mode -- Patterns of head shape variation in lizards : morphological correlates of foraging mode -- Prey capture and prey processing behavior and the evolution of lingual and sensory characteristics : divergences and convergences in lizard feeding biology -- The meaning and consequences of foraging mode in snakes -- The foraging biology of the Gekkota : life in the middle -- Foraging mode in the African cordylids and plasticity of foraging behavior in Platysaurus broadleyi -- Interactions between habitat use, behavior, and the trophic niche of lacertid lizards -- Food acquisition modes and habitat use in lizards : questions from an integrative perspective -- The evolution of foraging behavior in the Galápagos marine iguana : natural and sexual selection on body size drives ecological, morphological, and behavioral specialization -- The evolution of the foraging mode paradigm in lizard ecology.
