The Relationship between Cranial Structure, Biomechanical Performance and Ecological Diversity in Varanoid Lizards

Skull structure is intimately associated with feeding ability in vertebrates, both in terms of specific performance measures and general ecological characteristics. This study quantitatively assessed variation in the shape of the cranium and mandible in varanoid lizards, and its relationship to stru...
