The correlation between trophic utilization and morphology was studied for  two lizard species (Podarcis melisellensis and P. siculus) from two mainland  localities in the eastern Adriatic area; this is the first report of trophic  and morphometric data for P. melisellensis from mainland populations.  Variance partitioning showed that most of the variation in morphological  traits for the analyzed lizards was the result of differences between  species, and to a lesser extent between sexes. Locality did not have a strong  effect on the variation of morphological traits. Prey weight is the only  characteristic of prey that generally exhibits correlations with  morphological characteristics rather than prey size. The pattern of  correlations is generally weaker for P. melisellensis than for P. siculus.  Optimal foraging theory predictions were generally confirmed: P. siculus is  more constrained by trophic resource availability, with a premium on larger  and heavier prey consumed in the less productive locality (SM), which can be  relaxed in more productive regions (KL). P. melisellensis shows such  constraints only for males in the less productive region (SM). Females of  both species consume heavier prey. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike  Srbije, br.
