Fig. 5. Representative gape profile of prey transport in Sphenodon
punctatus and Pogona vitticeps eating a mealworm. Note how the
transport stage duration in S. punctatus is significantly longer than
in P. vitticeps (1440 vs 237 m s–1,
respectively) and consists of a greater number of cycles. Note also the
difference in the scale of the two x-axes. Data for P.
vitticeps were taken from Schaerlaeken et al.
(Schaerlaeken et al.,
2008).
