Historical introduction: on widely foraging for Kalahari lizards Raymond B.
Huey and Eric R. Pianka; Part I. Organismal Patterns of Variation with

behavioral correlates Gad Perry; 2. Morphology, performance and foraging
mode Donald B. Miles, Jonathan B. Losos and Duncan J. Irschick; 3.
Physiological correlates of lizard foraging mode Kevin E. Bonine; 4. Lizard

snakes than in lizards? Richard Shine and Mike Wall; 7. Herbivory and
foraging mode in lizards Anthony Herrel; 8. Lizard chemical senses,
chemosensory behavior, and foraging mode William E. Cooper, Jr.; 9.
Patterns of head shape variation in lizards: morphological correlates of

characteristics: divergences and convergences in lizard feeding biology
Stephen M. Reilly and Lance D. McBrayer; 11. The meaning and consequences
of foraging mode in snakes Steven J. Beaupre and Chad Montgomery; Part II.
Environmental Influences on Foraging Mode: 12. The foraging biology of the
Gekkota: life in the middle Aaron M. Bauer; 13. Foraging mode in the
African cordylids and plasticity of foraging behavior in Platysaurus
broadleyi Martin Whiting; 14. Interactions between habitat use, behaviour
and the trophic niche of lacertid lizards Bieke Vanhooydonck, Anthony
