Figure 11 in Metamorphosis and evolution of feeding behaviour in salamanders of the family Plethodontidae

Description

Figure 11. Video sequence of an adult Stereochilus marginatus capturing a tubifex worm aquatically using jaw prehension. The salamander lunges forward and grasps the worm with the jaws. Note the substantial buccal expansion in the last frame, the rapid gape cycle compared to Figs 9 and 10, and how the prey does not move toward the salamander as it does in larval prey capture (see Figs 2 and 3). Scale bar = 1 cm.
