Hey guys-

Bit of a rough year this year so haven't been on the forums in a while.
Sorry for lack of PM response.

Anyway- came across this and couldn't turn it up in a search of the forums so here you go:

Pretty new (published sept 2012) in-depth ecology of dilepis, including life habits, reproduction and natural diet. (mostly grasshoppers and then fiarly close second quantity of beetles and then some distant third larvae/pupae- interesting when considering chiton content of prey I think). 2 out of 206 animals had eaten lizards.

Anyway that was what jumped out at me at a glance through- it's a very nice article IMO and hope some here find it useful/interesting.
