Tooth morphology is among the most well-studied indicators of ecology. For decades,
researchers have examined the gross morphology and wear patterns of teeth as indicators …

Primates are generally characterized by low-crowned, brachydont molars relative to many
other groups of mammals. This conservative architecture may create special challenges for …

Metatherian mammals were taxonomically rich and abundant in Late Cretaceous faunas of
North America. Although much attention has been paid to metatherian taxonomy, a …

Ecometric modelling relates spatial environmental variables to phenotypic characters to
better understand morphological adaptation and help reconstruct past environments. Here …

The tooth crowns, tooth roots, and mandible of mammals form an integrated apparatus for
the acquisition and breakdown of food. The mandible houses the teeth and anchors the …
