Induction of phenotypic plasticity in rattlesnake trophic morphology by diet manipulation.

Journal of morphology - 1 Dec 2014

Smith Matthew T

Abstract excerpt

Gape-limited predators are restricted in the shape and size of prey items they can ingest by their trophic morphology. Evolutionary theory predicts that gape-limited predators, such as rattlesnakes, should possess plasticity in their trophic morphology to allow them to respond to environmental cues about their prey base. This study examined the effects of two possible influences over trophic morphology in the...
