We conducted a phylogenetically explicit meta-analysis, which included ca. 100 species, to test this paradigm of snake feeding ecology. We gathered data on prey size by inducing regurgitation by palpation in free-ranging snakes and by examining the stomach contents of preserved museum specimens. We constructed an optimisation model to quantitatively predict the optimal digestive strategy for an infrequently-feeding snake in terms of the length of time post-feeding after which gut downregulation occurs and the minimum prey mass required to initiate upregulation.

We gathered data on prey size by inducing regurg. tation by palpation in free-rang-ing snakes and by examining the stomach contents of preserved museum speci-men. I also compared changes in body size among the two diet strategies for active foraging snake species using data gleaned from the literature to determine if increased change in body size and thereby feeding morphology is observable in snakes regardless of prey type or foraging habitat. We gathered data on prey size by inducing regurgitation by palpation in free-ranging snakes and by examining the stomach contents of preserved museum specimens. Here, we construct an optimisation model to quantitatively predict this strategy in terms of the length of time post-feeding after which gut downregulation occurs and the minimum prey mass required to initiate gut upregulation.

This particular example perfectly highlights why Data Representations For Optimal Snake Size Feeding is so captivating.
