Discrimination and generalization of prey in lizards (Squamata: Sauria)
 Vohralík, Martin ; Gregorovičová, Martina (advisor) ; Schořálková, Tereza (referee)
The ability to find and recognize palatable prey is fundamental for survival of any organism. Here we are discussing different ways of recognition of such a prey in order Squamata and the ways they learn this discrimination. Lizards are well known for their ability to analyse chemical cues brought from their tongue to the Jacobson's organ, which is completely separate from the nassal cavity in Squamata. However, the leading sense used for discrimination in Squamata can also be vision or other forms of chemoreception. Dominance of one sense can be assesed from morphology of tongue and abundance of taste buds or ecological strategy used for hunting a prey. Once the predator learns which cue to discriminate, it can generalise similar cues. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
