Individual variation of the masticatory system dominates 3D skull shape in the herbivory-adapted marsupial wombats
BACKGROUND: Within-species skull shape variation of marsupial mammals is widely considered low and strongly size-dependent (allometric), possibly due to developmental constraints arising from the altricial birth of marsupials. However, species whose skulls are impacted by strong muscular stresses –...
