Predatory functional morphology in raptors: interdigital variation in talon size is related to prey restraint and immobilisation technique.
Despite the ubiquity of raptors in terrestrial ecosystems, many aspects of their predatory behaviour remain poorly understood. Surprisingly little is known about the morphology of raptor talons and how they are employed during feeding behaviour. Talon size variation among digits can be used to disti...
