Hard to Swallow: Scaling Relationships Between the Size of Avian Prey and the Overall Size and Maximal Gape of Brown Treesnakes
ABSTRACT Snakes are a useful model for gaining insights into the relationships between predator and prey sizes and resource utilization because their anatomy limits the size of prey that can be swallowed whole. However, data are sparse regarding how commonly gape‐limited predators eat or attempt to...
