Feeding In Lizards: Form-Function And Complex Multifunctional System
FEEDING IN VERTEBRATES: EVOLUTION, MORPHOLOGY, BEHAVIOR, BIOMECHANICS(2019)
Abstract
Living lizards exploit almost all terrestrial ecosystems where they play the roles of both predator and prey in complex food webs. Bels et al. (Biomechanics of feeding in Vertebrates, 197-240, 1994) and Schwenk (Feeding: form, function and evolution in Tetrapod Vertebrates, 459-485, 2000) provided first detailed overviews about the anatomical and functional traits of the feeding stages and phases of the feeding cycle in these tetrapods. Here, we synthesize recent literature in order to provide discussion of the evolution of their feeding behavior from capture to swallowing.
