The seasonal and local variations of the diet of the lizard Eremias olivieri (Lacertidae) were studied on the Kerkennah islands, off the coast of Tunisia. A total of 247 stomach was examined. The wide range of the food items ingested, and the lack
of a close relationship between the size of the prey and that of the predator, emphasizes the dietary opportunism of Eremias olivieri. Such a diet is considered as adaptive to the scarcity of food resources of the semi-desertic environment of the Kerkennah
The diet of the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) in Grande Sologne, central France, is described. Pellet samples were collected from 35 localities. They included more than 18,000 food items. The number and relative importance of the mammal species captured
by barn owls show little variability within the individual study areas. However, three different dietary patterns (called facies) were distinguished on the basis of the frequency of the various prey items. In each of the three facies however, the diet
The social behaviour of five species of Iguanid lizards from Madagascar Oplurus quadrimaculatus, O. grandidieri, O. fierinensis, O. cyclurus and O. cuvieri cuvieri is described. After summarizing relevant data on the ecology, morphology, and diet
. Proechimys and Oryzomys are mostly frugivorous, the diet varying with the sex of the animal, the season and the forest type. There is a difference in size of the fruits consumed by the two sympatric species, which parallels their difference in body size
