Feeding biomechanics suggests progressive correlation of skull architecture and neck evolution in turtles
The origin of turtles is one of the most long-lasting debates in evolutionary research. During their evolution, a series of modifications changed their relatively kinetic and anapsid skull into an elongated akinetic structure with a unique pulley system redirecting jaw adductor musculature. These mo...
