Diet plays an incontrovertible role in primate evolution, affecting anatomy, growth and
development, behavior, and social structure. It should come as no surprise that a myriad of …

The impact of preserved museum specimens is transforming and increasing by three-
dimensional (3D) imaging that creates high-fidelity online digital specimens. Through …

Macroevolutionary biologists have classically rejected the notion that higher-level patterns of
divergence arise through microevolutionary processes acting within populations. For …

Aging has a profound impact on the gingiva and significantly increases its susceptibility to
periodontitis, a worldwide prevalent inflammatory disease. However, a systematic …

Researchers commonly rely on human dental morphological features in order to reconstruct
genetic affinities among past individuals and populations, particularly since teeth are often …

A fuller understanding of the role of developmental bias in shaping large‐scale evolutionary
patterns requires integrating bias (the probability distribution of variation accessible to an …

Evidence of how gestational parameters evolved is essential to understanding this
fundamental stage of human life. Until now, these data seemed elusive given the skeletal …

In the last 5 decades, paleontological research has exploded where fossils have enabled
robust dating of rocks, improved understanding of origination/extinction rates or mass …

Much of the basic information about individual organ development comes from studies using
model species. Whereas conservation of gene regulatory networks across higher taxa …

Objectives This study generates a series of narrow‐sense heritability estimates for crown
morphology of the deciduous and permanent dentition with two overarching aims. The first is …
