Fishing for jaws in early vertebrate evolution: a new hypothesis of mandibular confinement
T Miyashita - Biological Reviews, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The evolutionary origin of the vertebrate jaw persists as a deeply puzzling mystery. More
than 99% of living vertebrates have jaws, but the evolutionary sequence that ultimately gave …

The oldest gnathostome teeth
Mandibular teeth and dentitions are features of jawed vertebrates that were first acquired by
the Palaeozoic ancestors,–of living chondrichthyans and osteichthyans. The fossil record …

Heterogeneity and developmental connections between cell types inhabiting teeth
J Krivanek, I Adameyko, K Fried - Frontiers in physiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Every tissue is composed of multiple cell types that are developmentally, evolutionary and
functionally integrated into the unit we call an organ. Teeth, our organs for biting and …

New genomic and fossil data illuminate the origin of enamel
Enamel, the hardest vertebrate tissue, covers the teeth of almost all sarcopterygians (lobe-
finned bony fishes and tetrapods) as well as the scales and dermal bones of many fossil …

The stem osteichthyan Andreolepis and the origin of tooth replacement
The teeth of gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates) show rigidly patterned, unidirectional
replacement that may or may not be associated with a shedding mechanism. These …

Evolution of dental tissue mineralization: an analysis of the jawed vertebrate SPARC and SPARC-L families
Background The molecular bases explaining the diversity of dental tissue mineralization
across gnathostomes are still poorly understood. Odontodes, such as teeth and body …
