Blood-feeding (sanguivory) has evolved more than two dozen times among birds, fishes,
insects, arachnids, molluscs, crustaceans, and annelids; however, among mammals, it is …

Dental topographic metrics (DTMs), which quantify different aspects of the shape of teeth,
are powerful tools for studying dietary adaptation and evolution in mammals. Current DTM …

Adaptive radiations are bursts in biodiversity that generate new evolutionary lineages and
phenotypes. However, because they typically occur over millions of years, it is unclear how …

Covariation patterns of dental traits vary greatly among mammals due to the effect of
evolutionary factors. Studies of integration and modularity in dentition in closely related …

Dental topographic analysis has proved a valuable tool for quantifying dental morphology.
Established workflows often use proprietary software for pre‐processing dental surfaces …

Taxonomic diversity of marine animals decreased markedly during the end-Guadalupian
and end-Permian mass extinctions, but conodonts were largely unaffected by these two …

Cercopithecins differ from papionins in lacking a M 3 hypoconulid. Although this loss may be
related to dietary differences, the functional and developmental ramifications of hypoconulid …

Aim The remarkable ecomorphological diversity of the bat superfamily Noctilionoidea is the
result of a diet‐mediated adaptive radiation. Stemming from a putatively insectivorous …

Studies integrating patterns of molar morphology and diet are particularly useful to address
questions of evolutionary history and diet in extinct taxa. However, such studies are lacking …

Conodont elements have high rates of morphological evolution, but the drivers of this
disparity are debated. Positive allometric relationships between dimensions of food …
