Revisiting the feeding anatomy of the semi-aquatic lizard Dracaena guianensis Daudin, 1801 (Reptilia, Sauria) from the Western Brazilian Amazon
(2021-01-01)
Introduction: There are about 842 reptile species known in Brazil, including 799 Squamata, being the most diverse assemblage, comprising 72 amphisbaenians, 276 lizards, and 405 snakes. Lizards have adapted to different ...
Consuming Costly Prey: Optimal Foraging and the Role of Compensatory Growth
(2021-03-18)
Some prey are exceptionally difficult to digest, and yet even non-specialized animals may consume them—why? Durophagy, the consumption of hard-shelled prey, is thought to require special adaptations for crushing or digesting ...
Ecological singularity of temperate mesopredatory myliobatoid rays (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes)
(Csiro Publishing, 2016-06)
Many myliobatoid rays are important mesopredators, having significant effects on coastal benthic communities. In tropical and subtropical high-diversity oligotrophic ecosystems, they partition their trophic resources, which ...
Built to Bite: Feeding Kinematics, Bite Forces, and Head Shape of a Specialized Durophagous Lizard, Dracaena Guianensis (Teiidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-07-01)
Most lizards feed on a variety of food items that may differ dramatically in their physical and behavioral characteristics. Several lizard families are known to feed upon hard-shelled prey (durophagy). Yet, specializations ...

The Mesozoic marine revolution
(Springer, 2016)
The Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR) was a major evolutionary episode involving the large-scale restructuring of shallow-marine benthic communities and the rise to dominance of the Modern Evolutionary Fauna. Although the ...
Predatory evidence in the high-latitude cold-water gastropod Buccinanops deformis (King, 1832) from the Holocene littoral sand ridges, Argentina, SW AtlanticEvidencias de depredación en gasterópodos de agua fría en altas latitudes Buccinanops deformis (King, 1832) de barras de arena litorales del Holoceno, Argentina, Atlántico suroccidental
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2018-02)
In this study investigates the predatory activity on a Holocene gastropod from the Argentinean Malacological Province. Buccinanops deformis (King, 1832), endemic in the southern hemisphere, is a typical taxon of cold-waters ...
Exploración cuantitativa de la durofagia en los Crocodylia (aligatores-caimanes, cocodrilos y gaviales): el caso de los caimanes con dientes globulares del Sistema Pebas (Mioceno medio; Amazonía)
(Universidad Peruana Cayetano HerediaPE, 2021)
En los ambientes amazónicos habitan hasta tres especies simpátricas de caimanes, pero hace ~13 millones de años (Mioceno medio) cohabitaron seis, en el “Sistema Pebas”, un ecosistema acuático dominado por lagos y pantanos. ...
