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 …

Comparative histology of some craniofacial sutures and skull‐base synchondroses in non‐avian dinosaurs and their extant phylogenetic bracket
AM Bailleul, JR Horner - Journal of Anatomy, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Sutures and synchondroses, the fibrous and cartilaginous articulations found in the skulls of
vertebrates, have been studied for many biological applications at the morphological scale …

Transient role of the middle ear as a lower jaw support across mammals
Mammals articulate their jaws using a novel joint between the dentary and squamosal
bones. In eutherian mammals, this joint forms in the embryo, supporting feeding and …

Skull Sutures and Cranial Mechanics in the Permian Reptile Captorhinus aguti and the Evolution of the Temporal Region in Early Amniotes
While most early limbed vertebrates possessed a fully-roofed dermatocranium in their
temporal skull region, temporal fenestrae and excavations evolved independently at least …

The role of the sutures in biomechanical dynamic simulation of a macaque cranial finite element model: implications for the evolution of craniofacial form
The global biomechanical impact of cranial sutures on the face and cranium during dynamic
conditions is not well understood. It is hypothesized that sutures act as energy absorbers …
