Abstract

The diet of Ctenotus xenopleura, a species found in spinifex grasslands in the southern Goldfields ofwesternAustralia, consisted primarily of termites.The high proportion of termites was consistent over differentsampling periods, and was higher than observed for most other Ctenotus species. It is not clear whetherthis high proportion of termites is the result of specialised foraging for termites by C. xenopleuru.
