Armed to the teeth: The underestimated diversity in tooth shape in snakes and its relation to feeding behavior and diet
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10011
Abstract: Abstract The structure, composition, and shape of teeth have been related to dietary specialization in many vertebrate species, but comparative studies on snakes' teeth are lacking. Yet, snakes have diverse dietary habits that may impact… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9272
Abstract: Abstract Behavioral innovations are rare and infrequent in the natural world, but they are pivotal for animals to respond to environmental changes. The ecological benefits of these innovations remain unknown, especially in wild populations. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9848
Abstract: Abstract Feeding for most animals involves bouts of active ingestion alternating with bouts of no ingestion. In insects, the temporal patterning of bouts varies widely with resource quality and is known to affect growth, development… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-017-9951-3
Abstract: Many species across a range of primate genera, irrespective of dietary and locomotory specializations, can and will incorporate agricultural crops in their diets. However, although there is little doubt that rapid, extensive conversion of natural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12520-017-0486-5
Abstract: There is substantial room for isotopic analysis to address questions regarding human migration and interaction with the landscape. Oxygen isotopes in vertebrate tissues, which are generally thought to reflect water source, are derived from a… read more here.
