Finally, values of IC on Lutz site were generally higher than those of AVA site for within sex comparisons. Food Intake The scat production method of estimat- ing food intake was supported by an in- dependent determination of food intake. In May and June 1977, adult females feeding ad libitum in captivity ate 284 ;^d~^ (Andrews, 1979). In comparison, adult females censused on Lutz site in May and June to July 1977 had an esti- mated food intake of 265 and 304 ;^d~^ (Fig. 6). Since anoles were probably not food limited on Lutz site during this period at least (see Discussion), the cor- respondence between the two sets of measurements is corroborative. In order to evalua
