Opening Phase

The kinematics of prey capture, intraoral transport and swallowing in lizards of the species Agama stellio (Agamidae) were investigated using cineradiography (50 frames s-1) and high-speed video recordings (500 frames s-1). Small metal markers were inserted into different parts of the upper and lower jaw and the tongue. Video and cineradiographic images were digitized, and displacements of the body, head, upper and lower jaw and the tongue were quantified. Twenty additional variables depicting displacements and timing of events were calculated. A factor analysis performed on the kinematic data separates prey capture and swallowing cycles from intraoral transport bites. However, the intraoral transport stage cannot be separated into chewing (reduction) and transport bites. The effect of prey type and size on the feeding kinematics of intraoral transport and swallowing cycles was investigated. During the intraoral transport stage, distinct aspects (e.g. durations, maximal excursions) of the gape and tongue cycle are modulated in response to both the size and type of the prey item. The results for A. stellio generally agree with a previous model, although it is the entire slow opening phase rather than solely the duration of the second part of this phase that is affected by the size of the prey. The intraoral transport cycles in A. stellio show the two synapomorphic characteristics of tetrapods (tongue-based terrestrial intraoral prey transport and the existence of a long preparatory period of prey compression). However, not all five characters of the feeding cycle previously proposed for amniotes are present in A. stellio. One major difference is that in A. stellio the recovery of the hyolingual apparatus does not take place during the slow opening phase but during the slow closing/powerstroke phase.
