Summer Diet of Agama etoshae McLachlan 1981 from Namibia

Abstract

Agama etoshae is insectivorous but also consumes food items belonging to other arthropod groups. Ants constituted the major dietary item suggesting that the species engages primarily in sit-and-wait foraging. No intersexual dietary differences were found. The species is infected by two types of nematode and a cestode. No significant intersexual differences in parasitemia existed.
