Crayfish Eating in Snakes: Testing How Anatomy and Behavior Affect Prey Size and Feeding Performance

Quantifying the performance of animals is a powerful methodology for determining the functional consequences of morphological variation. For example, snakes consume prey whole, and variation in the anatomy of their trophic apparatus directly affects gape and limits maximal prey size. However, for th...
