Functional constraints on tooth morphology in carnivorous mammals

BACKGROUND: The range of potential morphologies resulting from evolution is limited by complex interacting processes, ranging from development to function. Quantifying these interactions is important for understanding adaptation and convergent evolution. Using three-dimensional reconstructions of ca...
