related, and food availability was weakly correlated with rainfall. All three species are arthropod food generalists, had widely overlapping home ranges and were active from Sept.-May in a wide range of air temperatures, which was broadest for D. damaeus (7.5->44 C!). Diplodactylus damaeus and H. binoei are widely foraging while D. tessellatus is a sit-and-wait predator. The data are discussed for their relevance to present life history theories. The data suggest that the few differences between Heteronotia and Diplodactylus were not caused by proximate factors but were due to phylogenetic effects.
