Factorial scope of ingestion and the potential functional response of puff adders (Bitis arietans) to high prey abundance
Abstract Historically, snakes have been considered to have a weak functional response to changing prey abundance due to their ectothermic physiology and slow digestion. I measured aspects of food consumption in a captive colony of puff adders (Bitis arietans) to evaluate their functional response. I...
