Investigating the link between morphological characteristics and diet in an island population of omnivorous reptiles (Sphenodon punctatus)
The morphological characteristics that impact feeding ecology in ectotherms, particularly reptiles, are poorly understood. We used morphometric measures and stable isotope analysis (carbon-13 and nitrogen-15) to assess the link between diet and functional morphology in an island population of an evo...
