Variation and covariation of skulls and teeth: modern carnivores and the interpretation of fossil mammals
Teeth are generally the best-preserved elements among mammal fossil remains and are
highly diagnostic characters. Consequently, much mammalian paleontological, systematic …

Phylogeny and locomotor ecomorphology of Oxyaenidae and macroevolutionary patterns in North American “Creodonta”(Mammalia, Placentalia)
HE Ahrens - 2017 - jscholarship.library.jhu.edu
The early Cenozoic witnessed the major diversification of placental mammals and large-

Occlusal enamel complexity and its implications for lophodonty, hypsodony, body mass, and diet in extinct and extant ungulates
Tooth morphology and rates of wear have strong controls on how well mammals survive in
their habitats. Herbivorous mammals, specifically ungulates, combat the effects of wear …

The morphological diversification of carnivores in North America
GD Wesley-Hunt - Paleobiology, 2005 - cambridge.org
The evolutionary history of a clade has traditionally been studied through phylogenetics, and
taxonomic diversity has been used as a crude proxy for morphological diversity. However …

New partial skeletons of Palaeocene Nyctitheriidae and evaluation of proposed euarchontan affinities
Small-bodied, insectivorous Nyctitheriidae are known in the Palaeogene fossil record almost
exclusively from teeth and fragmentary jaws and have been referred to Eulipotyphla …

Reconstructing dietary ecology of extinct strepsirrhines (Primates, Mammalia) with new approaches for characterizing and analyzing tooth shape
The morphological and ecological diversity of lemurs and lorisiformes once rivaled that of
the rest of the primate order. Here, we assemble a dataset of 3D models representing the …

Tooth counts through growth in diapsid reptiles: implications for interpreting individual and size‐related variation in the fossil record
Tooth counts are commonly recorded in fossil diapsid reptiles and have been used for
taxonomic and phylogenetic purposes under the assumption that differences in the number …
