From snout to beak: the loss of teeth in birds
A Louchart, L Viriot - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2011 - cell.com
All living birds are toothless, constituting by far the most diverse toothless vertebrate clade,
and are striking examples of evolutionary success following tooth loss. In recent years, an …
