Functional trade-offs in the aquatic feeding performance of salamanders

•Semi-aquatic newts have lower feeding performance than the fully aquatic newt.•Performance is correlated with gape and hyobranchial kinematics and morphology.•Hyobranchial morphology and feeding musculature in aquatic newts are more robust.•Newts that also use tongue protrusion have functional trad...
